Question about Astro Gaming A50
Hello, I have the following problem. I always play on the PC screen. Either directly on the PC or via the PS5. In order for the Astro to work properly on both, I bought an adapter so that I could get the sound from the PS5 to the PC screen at all. Now I have the problem that I always have to change a USB cable from PS5 to PC so that I have sound on the corresponding medium. Would it be possible to get the sound from both devices via USB splitter https://www.digitec.ch/de/s1/product/alldock-usb-a-usb-a-013-m-usb-kabel-17207924 without having to always change the cable? Does anyone have any experience with this?

No, this will certainly not work with the splitter. You need a little logic in between.
Only one device can be registered per USB port. The adapter is actually only suitable for charging.
In your case, there would probably be conflicts if the PC and PS5 wanted to access the headset. I would also assume that the data lines are not connected to this USB splitter.
You need a USB switch e.g.:
