Not every bluetooth dongle will work, only these specifically sold as "ps4 compatible" will work. There are some cheapos on ebay as well as Creative BT-W2 which is 100% confirmed to work.

I have both X7 and Recon3d, so I guess I can use X7 for game audio and the recon3D for chat. don't need to buy that Bluetooth adapter or do I ?
I think You can just plug the mic into the Recon 3D and plug it via USB. Kinda ghetto-style but should work.

Yes, I just saw this on their specs. Why on earth would they do this? But it can output 7.1 on PC?
It accepts 7.1 input via USB from PC but only stereo via optical or PS4 usb. So much wasted potential.
Speaking of wasted potential, X7 is still marketed by Creative as console chat incompatible. Their own manual says that. But Creative also sells the BT-W2 transmitter that enables PS4 chat.
You might think here: problem solved?
Lolnope.
I emailed Creative a few days ago to tell them that they should market the X7 as chat compatible when used with the bt-w2 which would actually help. They responded by saying that they will not market either the X7 and the bt-w2 as console chat compatible (when used together) because it was not the intended design of the products to be used this way.

well at least there's a solution for the mic.... but not for sbx headphone through line out and optical out... Creative has no solutions...

Idea for that was conceived in this very thread.

My x7 has begun to pop while playing ps4... Ironically Just since I added my PC to the equation.
Annoying!

I have the latest firmware and My device doesn't detect headphones when I turn the device on(I keep my headphones in) ... So the only way to switch to headphone is to unplug/plug the headphone...does anyone else have this problem ?

Do you have any settings in "Direct Mode"?
Does it keep state (speakers/headphones) when you switch off, or does it start up in speakers even if you shut it down with the headphones set as the output?

no, no settings in direct mode, and no matter what I do, If I keep the headphone plugged in and then turn the device off and then on, It is stuck in speaker mode, and the only way to switch to headphone mode is to unplug and plug the headphones.

Switching the toggle on the bottom left of the control panel does nothing?
