Apps.elf

Install on your PS5

Payload: start an ELF loader on the PS5 first, such as elfldr, which listens on port 9021. Then open this address in a browser on a computer or phone on the same network, with your PS5's address in place of PS5. elfldr downloads the payload and runs it.

About PlayPods

The PS5 has Bluetooth but no Bluetooth audio, which is why Sony's own headsets come with a USB dongle. PlayPods captures everything the console plays and sends it to any A2DP headphones, headset or earbuds over the PS5's own Bluetooth chip, as 48 kHz stereo SBC. That's games, menus and notifications. Your DualSense stays wireless. The developer lists firmware 11.60.

The first time, put the headset in pairing mode and then start the payload. After that, switch the headset on and start the payload, and it reconnects by itself. Switch the headset off to stop. Changing games gives a second or two of silence before the sound comes back.
