Voice chat options?

[Bixby]

Is mumble free or do you have to pay for servers to host the chat?

It requires a server.

Teamspeak has an app on android and iOs, but You'll need a TS Server to use it.

Also it's possible to have both Your Smartphone Sounds (i.e. Teamspeak) and the ingame Sounds on the same Headset by using the PS4 Headphone jack and a few adaptors ;o)

Can you explain more on this setup? I hav both PS Headsets Elite/Gold and i have an Iphone with Teamspeak 3. How would i get ingame sound and voice chat on the same headset?

There is also Ventrillo, it's similar to TeamSpeak/Mumble in the respect it does require a server (which you can do yourself, host your own, or rent one).

You will need a cable that splits Your Headset Plug into two seperate ones (mic and sound) [let\\'s call this A] and another that turns mic and sound back into one plug [B].
Then You will need a splitter [C] - usually these are used so that two people can jack their headphones into the same portable device, but we will be using it just the opposite way.
Put [B] into Your iphone and connect the mic part directly to [A].
Now put [C] between the sound parts of [A] and [B] and connect the remaining cable of [C] to your gamepad (you\\'ll want to press the PS Button and change the sound options in the menu, so that all sound is directed to the gamepad).
Connect Your headset to [A] and it should work just fine.

(I have two regulators on my splitter, so I can adjust the volume of my iphone and the game sounds seperately)

There is a ventrilo App for Andriod called ventriloid.
There is one for iPhone called Ventrilode.

Note, these are just for ventrilo, but they work fine.

Which is why most PS3/4 players eventually buy a cheap USB keyboard.

My FC uses Mumble, and I know several people use a smartphone/tablet app for it. Haven't heard any big complaints. Couldn't tell you much more than that, though.

The only problem with the phone app for mumble is it makes you SUPER loud.

So with Ventrillo I can just host my own server on my PC without having to pay for one? Is it difficult to setup the server?

You can do that with TeamSpeak or Mumble, too. Bandwidth may be an issue depending on how many people you're wanting to connect and what kind of connection you've got.

And I've got no idea how easy any of them are to set up. I just googled for a minute.
