Nothing brings the explosive action of console gaming closer than the right audio device, be that good headphones or surround sound. But what happens if you run into the PS5 error CE-109531-9 while trying to do so? This is a compatibility issue, and we\u2019ve got a few fixes handy to help you out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Compatibility Problem<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

PS5 error code CE-109531-9 is primarily a compatibility issue that mainly affects Bluetooth audio devices. This means that your console can\u2019t recognize or pair with your audio device, be it headphones or speakers. With the massive market of Bluetooth audio devices that aren\u2019t the PlayStation\u2019s official Pulse range, there\u2019s room for a lot of compatibility issues, including Sony\u2019s intentional decision to block some standard Bluetooth audio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Troubleshooting PS5 Error CE-109531-9<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With the above in mind, we\u2019ve assembled a few troubleshooting tips that hopefully help you with a PS5 error CE-109531-9 fix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Disconnect and Update<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A good first step is to manually disconnect all devices and ensure that your PS5 is up to date. Assuming you\u2019ve confirmed you have a compatible audio device, the rest of this fix has quite a few steps, but it might help you get your Bluetooth device detected:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1.<\/strong> Head to Settings and navigate to \u201cFamily and Parental Controls.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"How<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 2.<\/strong> Select \u201cPS5 Console Restrictions\u201d and enter your passcode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3.<\/strong> Ensure that \u201cTemporarily Disable PS5 Console Restrictions\u201d is disabled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"How<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 4.<\/strong> Back in the Settings menu, click \u201cAccessories.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 5.<\/strong> In \u201cGeneral,\u201d choose the \u201cBluetooth Accessories\u201d option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"How<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 6.<\/strong> You\u2019ll see a list of connected devices. Select each and choose either \u201cDisconnect\u201d or \u201cForget.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 7.<\/strong> Go back to the previous menu and in \u201cAdvanced Settings\u201d choose \u201cTurn Off Bluetooth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"How<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 8.<\/strong> Go back to the main Settings menu and choose \u201cSaved Data and Game\/App Settings.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 9.<\/strong> Under \u201cAutomatic Updates,\u201d enable both \u201cAuto-Download\u201d and \u201cAuto Install in Rest Mode.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 10.<\/strong> Back in \u201cSystem\u201d in the Settings menu, click \u201cReport System Software Errors Automatically\u201d to enable them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"How<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 11.<\/strong> Finally, update your PS5 via the internet or USB and reconnect your devices. Try to connect your Bluetooth audio again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buy a Dongle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With the amount of money you\u2019ve already sunk into your PS5 and games, it might be disheartening that you have to spend more. However, it may be that the only reliable way currently to ensure that your Bluetooth devices connect to your console reliably is to buy a USB Bluetooth adapter that plugs directly into your PS5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are plenty of options (and prices) to choose from, but a reliable dongle will act as an intermediary and, so long as the adapter itself is detected by the PS5, should allow any other Bluetooth device to connect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go Wired<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It might not be the most cutting-edge solution, but if your Bluetooth audio device also comes with cables (USB or audio jack), then you can connect it to your console. If, for example, your Bluetooth headphones aren\u2019t being detected by your PlayStation, you can always connect them the old-fashioned way via cable and headphone jack, if you have one.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t
