Thank you so much! I was able to get this, at last a code that works for me (even though I'm not in the UK).

Looking for a UK code if anyone has one spare. Would love try Atmos on my LG CX65.

Beep sound stays! I had it since the PS3 days and it will be strange flat-out disabling it. I will test the lower volumes though when the patch finally comes out for all users.

I turned it off immediately, but now it freaks me out pressing the PS button on my controller and hearing silence

Just look at the controller, it immediately turns to solid blue, so you'll know that the system has turned on.

The more I compare it, on my setup LPCM sounds better. Tempest / Atmos has a bit of a muffled quality to it.

After many hours testing Atmos vs LPCM, I settled back on uncompressed LPCM. It just sounds purer, clearer and louder. Atmos sounds a bit muffled in comparison and has a tiny bit of latency not present in uncompressed LPCM.

With lpcm being uncompressed audio it should sound clear and clean but atmos shouldn't sound muffled something could be going wrong

Nope, he's right, DA does sound more "muffled" compared to LPCM, I noticed that also when wearing headphones, LPCM sounded "cleaner" both when it came to the higher frequencies AND Bass (i.e : both sounded more pronounced in a good way)

I’m using two OG Apple HomePods w Atmos connected via Apple TV 4K using eARC and passthrough.
Setting anything on PS5 other than 2ch LPCM makes the volume lower regardless of Atmos. But when selecting Atmos, it sounds lower and a bit constrained. And a tiny bit of latency. I noticed gunshots in Returnal sounded dull and lacked impact. When I switched back to LPCM the volume and sound power came back and zero lag at all.
It could be perhaps that the OG HomePods (even though they support Atmos), are not the best at processing the unique Atmos on PS5 (aka the 3D Audio Tempest container).

Wait a minute. I’m using eARC and Passthrough. But I just discovered there’s a setting on my LG C1 called “Select HDMI Input Audio“ and the options are Bitstream and PCM. What should I select for my PS5’s HDMI input?
NeonGhost
uses 'M$' - What year is it? Not 2002.
Bitstream

Ok then I had it right. Thx

Decent update. An 8TB SSD is complete overkill but I guess this will ultimately bring the price of them down which is good.
Hopefully the ps5 slim has a slightly bigger SSD then the current one which only gives about 700GB of actual usable space. I'd at the very least expect a PS5 pro to give us 1TB of actual usable space. So Maybe a 1.5TB which would leave us with about 1.2TB to use.

Anyone with an extra U.S. code? I want to test on the Last of Us 2.

Yo, yo, yo, my boys, turn on haptics for menu navigation! It's one of the best updates in years and years honestly. Gave OG fat boy PS3 tingles.

Thanks it worked
I'm reading that PS Stars support is within the firmware which imo is a good news since the 3D trophies should look better than within the app. Also it's a nice program that allowed me to get 60$ in rewards so far, being limited to the ps app many people don't even know about it.

I said way back when they announced the program, that I have a feeling it may replace the now defunct Accolades section in the firmware.

I know it is late in the game, but anyone have any spare US codes left?

Would be good if Sony added an option to only enable Atmos for titles that support Tempest 3D.
I'd expect the Dolby Surround, DTS and Auro3D upmixers on modern AVRs would better handle games that natively use stereo, 5.1 or 7.1 channel audio.

Might be launching soon then. In past experience it usually goes to 4 before retail.

Does anyone experience loud crackles or pops when switching to the Dolby Atmos setting? I am eARCing from a 77" LG G1OLED to an Onkyo TX-RZ50 AVR and I have no problem when I use any of the other PS5 audio priority modes, only the new Dolby Atmos setting.

Yes I've heard it a few times. But with the latest beta update I believe it has disappeared, or I haven't noticed it anyway.
