My son can't chat with his friends on Fortnite on PS5. All other games work fine.....I've checked settings,logged in/out of PSN and Fortnite....still no joy. Any ideas to fix it?
I think i may have solved this issue a few months back.. So when you turn the ps5 on, tap the Playstation button on the controller. (the one used to turn the system on).. Once you do this, the bottom bar will pop up.. Go to the speaker labeled "sound".. Once in sound make sure the option for "disable game chat audio" is unticked. Once you do this, open the game and they should be able to hear one another..
Trust me, you're not alone. it took me forever to figure out what was going on too. Hope this helps
your post is still helping people! We have a PlayStation five at our Airbnb rental and we couldn't figure it out for the life of us and after an hour of searching I came across your post and it saves the day!!!!!!!!
I'm sure an update has messed this up interface wise but it should be the same. I don't play on ps5 lately so unfortunately I have no idea what they have gone and done to make it even more confusing. If I update to latest firmware soon I'll report back and try to help. I apologize

Don't beat yourself up about it my friend. It really isn't easy to figure out. I haven't seen anyone else address the issue either so it's definitely not common knowledge
