PS5 Update 9.00 is being rolled out as we speak, adding DualSense controller sound enhancements, Share Screen interactions, and more.
Sony released the new system software update in beta last month. Among other things, this update improved DualSense controller audio via noise cancelation for the microphone and speaker. In addition, the update allowed users to adjust the brightness of the console’s power indicator through a new setting. Fast forward a little over a month, and this new firmware version has now been rolled out for all PlayStation 5 users.
According not mentioned in Sony’s official blog post on the PS Blog, this new system update also, once again, improves stability and system performance. You’ll find the official release note for this update on Sony’s official system software support page here. We’ve included the notes about the DualSense controller enhancements below:
- Controller speaker enhancements. The controller speakers can now produce higher volume sound, allowing you to hear in-game sounds and voice chat audio more clearly.
- Improved noise cancellation. The mic input quality on these controllers has been improved, courtesy of a new AI machine learning model. Background noise from button presses and game audio are suppressed, resulting in a better voice chat experience. Install the system software beta and update the controller device software to enjoy enhanced clarity of your voice chat audio when using the controller mic.
- With this update, you may feel that the sounds coming from your controller speaker may sound louder. You can adjust the controller speaker volume from the control center.
The PlayStation 5 is available worldwide now. Sony launched its current-gen console back in November 2020. As covered recently, Sony managed to sell over 54.8 million units of the console since its launch.
