The DualSense controller has numerous features, including a built-in microphone that can be used for online chat. Here is how to mute the microphone in a few simple steps.
Knowing how to mute your DualSense controller is handy information since the controller’s microphone automatically turns on each time you switch your console on.
We’re going to run through two easy methods, one of which involves using the mute button on the controller itself, and the other takes you through the PS5 settings. Both have the same outcome, just use slightly different way of getting to the end goal.
What you’ll need:
The Short Version
- Click the mute button on the DualSense controller
OR - Click the PS button
- Click on Microphone
- Press Mute
Step
1Click the mute button on the DualSense controller
Click the mute button on the DualSense controller. You’ll find this below the PS button below the touchpad on the controller. It will turn orange when activated.
Step

There is another way to mute the microphone on your PS5 controller. Click on the PS button to start.
Step
3Click on Microphone
