Can you have the headset connected to PC and PS4 at the same time, or do you always have to plug it in?

It is possible to connect the A50 to the PS4 and the PC at the same time - as far as I can remember, the Astro A50 must also be connected to the PC via the AUX connection of the A50 charging station. This also works with the simultaneous use of the microphone. In any case, you can find a solution on Youtube.

Hello Community I have a question about the Astro A50. I've had mine for a while, it's not the 3rd generation. It has been working perfectly with the PS4 for 3 years. Now I would like to connect it to my PC. Unfortunately, it only has a 3.5 mm mic jack and a 3.5 mm audio jack. The Astro only has an optical audio connection. Can I now connect the headset to my PC with an adapter (Y-cable from mic-jack and audio-jack to optical audio connection)? And listen to the sound and use the MIC at the same time? Or is that the wrong approach? Or is there another possibility? Kind regards Andri Locher

Hello together I am honestly quite disappointed, the quality and fit is 10/10. However, I had to send the first one back after about 6 months because nothing worked anymore. The new one worked fine for months, but now I'm having problems again that I can't explain. My headset does not charge with the cable (so I can use it while it is charging), the LED light is always white and very rarely, depending on how I hold it, it turns orange (headset charging). Of course I have tried other connections as well as other cables, the problem is clearly with the headset. If I want to charge it in the charging station, this is only possible to a limited extent, I have to put it on 20-30 times for it to charge. Sometimes it shows 1 bar and as soon as I put it on it is practically full 3 out of 4 bars, also the other way round, headset is full 4 out of 4 bars, 5 minutes later it just switches off. Sometimes nothing works anymore and so I have to constantly reset it, change the connection, restart the PC and so on and so forth.... Very sad for such an expensive headset. I hear either very positive experience or very negative, not in between. I will definitely not buy a new Astro headset.

Is it possible to operate the Astro A50 via AUX only, i.e. without USB? And if so, how? What do I need and what do I have to consider? I would like to connect my audio interface as an audio device and use the A50 only as headphones. LG Julian

Hello Julian, no, that doesn't seem to work. I tried powering the base station with a power bank, but it didn't start. If you connect the headset to the PC you can still select another audio interface as output device. Good luck and LG Michael
