PS5: connecting or disconnecting headset results in loss of all in-game sound until closing and reopening the game

Loss of sound on PS5. The past couple days, when connecting or disconnecting (either one) my Pulse headset, all in-game sounds are now disabled until I completely restart the game app. However, the PS5 UI sounds still work. It’s only the game sounds that disappear. It’s very annoying when I’m playing solo and a friend signs on, or vice versa, taking the headset off after my party disbands.

Restarting the PS5 did not help. Also the bug is limited to Diablo 4, so I know it’s the game (tested with MK1 which works fine).

I am having this exact same issue. It started around the same time as it did for you.

Me too I am having this exact same issue

I came here to report this issue as well. My headset cable got tangled in another cable so I unplugged it to untangle it and when I plugged it back in all audio was lost.

Happened after the latest March of the goblins/mother’s blessing patch. Only way to fix is to restart Diablo IV.

S series as well unbelievable

A temporary fix i found on reddit is to open options, go to sound, and change your speaker setup to the sound you are using.
