Topic: PlayStation 5 --OT--

@JohnnyShoulder Seems like it then, that's strange.

@JohnnyShoulder ok thanks! Here’s hoping [if I can ever get my hands on one] that I don’t have the same issues as @TraCuz- because I have like nearly 2 TB of PS4 games on there.

@Th3solution I have around 3TB of games on my 4TB external hdd and not had any problems with it yet. As with all electronic equipment faults can arise. If you want to be extra careful you can safely eject the drive using the console menu before physically removing the drive from the console.

My PS5 controller touch pad has started clicking/creaking when you press it, on an impulse I took it apart to see if I could fix it.

What did I learn?

I couldn’t fix it, and I broke the microphone jack connection in the process 🤪

No sign of any jam, though.

@kyleforrester87 There is your problem, you need more jam.

@JohnnyShoulder I dunno I wasn’t even using it and it was still bugging me so I’ve just taken it apart again for another go at it. It’ll stop working before I do!

@kyleforrester87 Sounds like you’ve found yourself in quite the... jam.

Another reason to never let @kyleforrester87 with his cheetos fingers near my controllers.

Well I took a good look at it and I couldn’t figure out what the problem was, then under a light I did see a slightly shiny substance around the touchpad frame (the clear plastic bit that lights up) so I figured some jam like substance must have worked it’s way in! I took the pcb out of the touchpad and took the plastic frame out of the controller, washed and dried them thoroughly, put it all back together and problem solved!

So there you go!

Jam!

@kyleforrester87 At least it wasn't banana. You're too young to suffer a mid-Fyffe crisis.

@kyleforrester87 Or wasn’t relish from your hot dog, because then you’d have been in quite a pickle.

It was my natural secretion

My man sap

@kyleforrester87 We get it. 🤢🤮😅

Has anyone experienced the bug where in-game music doesn't play anymore? Sounds effects still do, but it's silent for the most part.

@Octane I can't say I've had this problem mate, worst I've experienced is that on shooting games The Division 2 and Control Ultimate Edition, the haptic feedback on the trigger works some times not always sometimes it even cuts out halfway through firing and I've had this on both my controllers so I'm assuming there's a bit of a bug in the games that have been given next gen patches.

@Octane The only thing like that I've had is when I played a 4k movie disk, and only some of the dialogue was coming through. I went to the sound setting on the console, nothing looked out of the ordinary and everything was OK when I went back to the film. That was when I first got the console and it has not happened since.

@MaulTsir @JohnnyShoulder I was playing Sackboy, and I noticed the levels were eerily silent. But the sound effects were still playing, so that was weird. A restart solved it.

I think it may have something to do with the Spotify app, since it's also broken most of the time.

@Octane It may have happened to me whilst playing Cyberpunk, but you know its Cyberpunk!

@JohnnyShoulder LOL
