    Hi,

    I have been trying the mic on the DS4 now and again and just came to a conclusion that its broke. I tried it out on my pc and it doesn't pick any mic when trying to do some recording. Then On the PS4 I went to party chat it has a mic crossed out for me.


    Where can I get a replacement ? Something cheap.... please advise.

    Well it may be broken but most PCs aren't able to use the 4-pole 3.5mm in any case so that's not really telling. Can't look now but go onto the settings page on your PS4 and see if it's picking it up there.

    Try sending a voice message to yourself and hold the PS button, go to adjust devices and make sure output to headphones is on chat audio...
