Issue Description: Since the update all ingame comms (radio&prox chat) are being forced trough my controller speaker. All playstation settings are correct, audio output is on my headset connected trough monitor. The only way to force the ingame audio on my headset is to turn off my controller.
(This was all working perfectly before the update, ingame comms would direct to my monitor->headset.)

Steps To Reproduce

Select monitor for sound output.
Select earbuds connected to controller as mic.
Join an arma reforger game and listen for ingame audio.
The audio will be forced trough controller speaker and there are no settings to change this.

Additional Information

Turning off the controller is the only way to force the ingame comms trough my monitor->headset.

Since i use a noise canceling headset i can no longer hear any comms ingame. And the game keeps lowering the main audio whenever there is ingame comms, however i do not hear the ingame comms, so i just hear the sound go low without any comms to justify the lowering which makes the normal audio really jarring.

Hello Quantumcream.
This is currently known side effect of a fix to an issue. Only workaround is to have headphones connected to controller or have some headset, that would be recognized by the system itself (like the original sony wireless headset).
We would like however to introduce setting for the later updates to be able to override the system and have an option to select the output.
Regards,
Geez

Yup, more and more people find it unplayable after this update. I stopped playing on PS5, they even disabled 3D audio on proximity, so you no longer hear the friendly position. Fortunately, I play on PC as well, so I'm playing on PC only until they fix it. I used to play with both devices simultaneously, one for Game Master to spawn stuff and the other to play with the main character. Now I'm limited.

Really hope there is a fix or Additional setting to force game chat through headset because it really killed the immersion of the game hearing the game in stereo audio out of a $250 headset.

Do you have a date when this will be fixed? As it’s massively disturbs the flow and style of the game. Especially when the game requires the team play to actually enjoy it.

I have the same issue too.

I'm playing Arma Reforger on PS5.

I am still not able to use VOIP without using the DS5s headset port. The new option to "Disable Wireless Controller Speaker" in the audio settings does not save and resets whenever I leave the options menu. It is quite clearly bugged. As multiple people have this issue too.

This is ruining my experience playing this game. As the chat will only come out of my controller.

Also, this is not a hardware or configuration issue as it works perfectly in other games. 

Can you fix this please?

This is 100% fixed for me, check audio settings in game

Fieri added a comment.Sun, Jul 27, 4:55 PM

I would say this is one of the major issues with the game on PS5. It seriously hinders the enjoyment of the game.

Be nice if there was some type of update or proper acknowledgment about fixing it (non- political speak).

What did you do? As there aren’t really any audio settings for the game.

Quantumcream added a comment.Mon, Jul 28, 9:13 PM

Load into a game, go to Settings->Audio->General->Wireless controller speaker enabled->No

Fieri added a comment.Mon, Jul 28, 9:39 PM

That doesn’t cure it, it just moves the issue to come out of TV speakers lol. It doesn’t transfer it to chat audio(like 99% of games do).

The issue is “chat” doesn’t act like chat, instead it’s apart of all the game audio with the separation being either all audio or controller speaker. No way to have just chat through an ear
piece

I take it, you use a headset?

Quantumcream added a comment.Mon, Jul 28, 9:47 PM

Yeah i use headset trough my monitor (mic connected to controller), so exactly what i needed. Why would you want chat on a seperate ear piece?

Fieri added a comment.Mon, Jul 28, 10:21 PM

I have all my sound coming through a 5.1.1 system and then have an ear piece for chat (still allows me to hear the surround sound of the system).
