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).

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?

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).

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

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