The company has updated the device software of the DualSense and DualSense Edge wireless controllers to improve their sound features.
The controller speakers will now produce higher volume sound, allowing you to hear in-game sounds and voice chat audio more clearly.
Also, the mic input quality on these controllers has been improved, thanks to a new AI machine learning model. Background noise from button presses and game audio are suppressed, resulting in a better voice chat experience.
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 centre.

Players watching Share Screen in full-screen mode can now use pointers and emoji reactions to interact with the host’s gameplay.
Viewers can move a pointer around, send a ping or draw a line on the shared screen, allowing them to highlight certain objects or areas to guide the host player more accurately. Viewers can send emoji-based reactions to the host’s screen to visually encourage and celebrate gameplay actions.
It’s important to note that this feature is available by default but can be turned off by the host in the Share Screen settings.
With the update, you can now adjust the brightness of your PS5 console’s power indicator. Just go to [Settings] > [System] > [Beep and Light], and then select [Brightness].
