Hello everybody . Need help, maybe someone knows how to use a microphone in Linux PS4. I have installed fedora 32 on my ps4 / fw 6.72 /. I want to use a microphone in messenger or discord, but the input function is disabled in bzimage .

Are you using a USB device?

Can you see it with this command:

Code:
lspci -nnk | grep Audio

or

can you see it in alsa manager?

Code:
 sudo alsamixer
+ f6 to list devices

Maybe install pulse audio extras etc. incase you see the device plugged in but not driver-installed with the first command.

[QUOTE = "Arko, post: 9531997, member: 510676"] Вы используете USB-устройство?

Вы можете увидеть это с помощью этой команды:

[код]
lspci -nnk | grep Audio [/ code]

или же

вы можете увидеть это в диспетчере alsa?

Code:
 sudo alsamixer [/ code] + f6 для вывода списка устройств

Возможно, установите дополнительные устройства для импульсного звука и т. Д., Если вы видите, что устройство подключено, но не установлено драйвером с помощью первой команды. [/ QUOTE]

Maybe because you are using a capture card to stream. When you are doing it just for yourself, from PS4 straight to Monitor/TV do it as I suggested so you won't have to switch keyboards to hit alt+ctrl+f tricks and you'll be comfier.

i am going to try again. This i tried a long time ago when I first ran into my problem but I didn't know the timing was tight. Switching keyboards and the function things is no problem. The unplugging the hdmi cable for me is the trouble. Never had to do that but it's so worth it so #firstworldproblem I am very greatful I know how.

After video I understood ok this command is for installing all those files and I was able to get it to go. Now I just gotta check that it took. I really appreciate the help with steam. I was all confused because previously on Fedora Half Life 2 just worked. I guess the packed driver is borked on a pro. Really appreciate all your help I am making progress!

I got so far with my PS4 using linux last night...Need some sort of linux guru to help me...Can you believe this picture is from my ps4?

Grab the kernels and intramfs from this pack


It has a guaranteed to work (on Pro) 4.14 kernel and 4.20 and 5.3 kernel (with hdmi unplug trick)

For now I recommend 4.14 file.

Rename that file only to BzImage.

Choose a distro for yourself. Since you ddn't tell me which model PS4 you have I'm going to assume you havea base machine by sales numbers. (lol)

For base machine grab ITmania's Fedora 32 updated from here:


Use an external USB Hard drive and format it as MBR and Fat32 as single partition.

You can use a free tool like minitool partition manager for this.

After you download ITmania's fedora rename it as psxitarch.tar.xz

Copy the 4.14 kernel (BZImage) the intramfs and psxitarch.tar.xz files into the USB drive.

Plug it in the console.



Enable jailbreak then enable the linux payload.

When the shell comes up type
exec install-psxitarch.sh

This will start installing Fedora 32.

After the installation is done, you can start using it.

The user password is ITmania

As for graphics drivers, ITmania's repo has older rpm drivers for Fedora. f you havegraphics problems, type this in terminal:


sudo dnf update --refresh --repo ps4_

sudo dnf install mesa-dri-drivers-20.3.4-2.fc32.i686 mesa-libEGL-20.3.4-2.fc32.i686 mesa-libGL-20.3.4-2.fc32.i686 mesa-libd3d-20.3.4-2.fc32.i686 mesa-libgbm-20.3.4-2.fc32.i686 mesa-vulkan-drivers-20.3.4-2.fc32.i686 --repo ps4_


Thank you very mach!!! I try today。

From console internet browser if you are on 6.72, go to sleirsgoevy's host

If you are on other firmwares, try darkmodder's one:

that can be number of things. Intermediary device like a switch capture card or soundbar. If you mean you get no pulsing blue light that just means the linux payload is not working. Be specific. No pulsing blue light or pulsing blue light. You should get a pulsing blue light as long as the payload took even if your setup cannot see the picture. If I understand you cannot even attempt the install?

Can you recommend a Wi-Fi adapter that will work out-of-the-box, without the need for Internet access to set it up? As my PS4 has no Wi-Fi nor Bluetooth nor Ethernet under Linux.

to be honest on my fat and pro wifi and bluetooth have always just worked. what model is your ps4? i think we need to really organize this data. what distro did you attempt?

I can't recommend a device but here's a kernel for you. It has wifi dongle drivers in it.

And as a general caution for Linux, I'm told the broadcom devices are bad for Linux due to drivers sucking. You should stick with atheros devices. (please do a research on this, I may be wrong)

It might help to create a file called "bootargs.txt" on the FAT32 USB partition, and put this line inside:

drm.edid_firmware=edid/1920x1080.bin

This helped me to prevent a black screen on (some) 5.3.x kernels. It will only work for kernels > 4.15 and, it seems, requires sleirsgoevy's Linux payload. I have not double-checked on this but it seems he has a check for this file in his source code, which makes this work.
