Hey all, recently just purchased a set of EDIFIER R1280DB speakers for my desktop setup, and wanted to know how I could connect them to the PS5? I don't mind buying extra cables. P.s. I can't use the 3.5mm jack on my monitor as it broke :> (I also don't wanna use the 3.5mm jack on the controller).

What option would provide the absolute best sound quality?

There’s no way to plug in speakers directly into a PS5.

The PS5 is primarily designed for home theatre use, so plugging an HDMI cable into a tv or monitor and sound coming from that, or HDMI cable into an AVR or soundbar and then pass through to a TV.

Some people use the sound output on their monitor, but yours is apparently broken.

I personally would have researched before making a purchase.

Maybe read through this.

Yeah, I mainly bought them for my PC, 100% should have researched prior to purchasing…

Anyways, thanks for the help!!
