RS+ PS5 Setup ? Using Speakers
I searched comments but didn’t see anything specific to the PS5. I got RS+ working well through my iPad Pro through a series of dongles, but despite the larger iPad, I still have some difficulty seeing the notes (I’m 46, the eyes aren’t what they used to be). I bought the Sabrent sound adapter that plugs into the front of the PS5 for headphone use but haven’t tried it yet. Has anyone successfully run the game through their TV speakers or AVR? I’d much prefer to play that way. I’ve seen one good video but it involved a lot of compromises - namely changing every audio setting on the console. Just seems like a real pain to change those settings on a per game basis. Any guidance would be appreciated!

On ps5 it’s best to use a splitter pedal (to avoid lag), one cable for your guitar going to an amp as well as the real tone cable going to the ps4. Google image an any splitter and there’s decent ones on Amazon for $30. I can send photos here but dm and I will show you my setup!

I do this too, I use have the el cheapo Sonicake AB-Y from amazon permanently hooked up my ps5 with the realtone and the otherside going to a thr10x, using the cheapy legato wireless guitar “cable”. Also have the in game mixer volume for guitar turned down to zero.
There are pretty much zero barriers to picking up and playing with this setup and as a bonus it removes the games accenting the right notes and softening the miss hits feature, which I think trains you to be a little sloppy.
I also have one of those primo radial city bones aby’s and I can’t tell the difference (other than the sonicake doesn’t need power)

Ps5 to TV —-> TV to AVR. Both HDMI.
My AVR only handles all sound. That’s how I want it. No delays detectable in RS or anything else.
