PS4 + AirPods Pro (alien.top)

I’ve tried to have my PS4 audio output to my AirPods but I can’t seem to get it to work, although I have no problem with eARC’ing the PS4 to the HomePods. Is this possible? If so, what about using the AirPods as a microphone?

Edit: For additional context when switching to the PS4 input with connected AirPods no audio plays at all. I have to return to the Apple TV and disconnect the AirPods manually (taking them off doesn’t appear to work). Also, I had to turn eARC back on (disabled by a recent update perhaps?) and now I can no longer control my volume while the ps4 is the selected input

Hardware:

  • Latest ATV (eARC on)
  • LG C2 (eARC on)
  • Latest AirPod Pros
  • HomePod Gen 2 x2
  • PS4

I’ve read that the Creative BT-W3 transmitter will connect to AirPods but I’ve yet to try it.

But short of getting a proper gaming headset, earbuds wired to the controller gives much better audio than the TV.
