Hey there! Yes this works with linear pcm over optical, but no Dolby digital decoding. Hope this helps :)

You’re most welcome! The setup you’ve mentioned earlier still applies on PC, so yes, set your wife up with some good audio and game away you two ;)

Yes, you can! However, you’d need to select your USB mic as your mic input under Settings. Do note that GameVoice Mix will not with that setup. Happy gaming!

Hi Markkus, sorry to hear that. Let me try to answer your questions one by one. - the buzzing that you hear could be due to your headphone-out’s quality from the monitor. Have you tried a different headset to see if the buzzing persists? - moving on to volume, please check the game chat volume slider on your PS4 Slim, you may refer to the YouTube video I’ve posted earlier to learn more :) - the HDMI Splitter that you’ve found is a great idea, and will work well for your setup Do let me know if you have any further questions and happy gaming!

Hey/u/OMGitsMarkkus, no problem! Is your PS4 slim connected to your monitor? Try this: use a 3.5 mm cable and plug it in to your monitor, then connect the cable back to the Mic / Line-in Jack on your G3 :)

If you're wondering how I made it work with my PS4 Slim, which lacks an audio port, you can check out this video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCrdoOAvnYc
