I got the official cable today but did not got any sound trough my controller. Cable works great with a iPod so looks to be the PS5 or settings.
is there something I have to do other than choosing audio output trough controller?

Only thing I had to do was connect it to controller and it automatically switched to headphones for output
Does anyone know if you use the lightning adapters that came with the iphone 7/8/x along with a 3.5 headphone boom if it works for game chat?

You cannot use any lightning adapter or cable but the official ones for $35. They are bidirectional. I'm sure someone will make one that has a high quality mic built in eventually.
Connected my APM via that cable to my PS4 controller with no issues. PS5 should be no different. You have to enable the sound in the console settings if it’s off by default.
I use the official cable on my PS5 controller with APM’s and it sounds brilliant.
As said, you do need to turn it on in the settings, but well worth the effort.

That is correct.
It’s not an issue to me, I don’t have any friends lol
Has anyone tried an audio splitter with a separate mic? So AirPods max in one with Apple cable and small mic in the other connected to controller? Be about £50 to get it working in theory...
I’m wondering if this would work with audio and mic on the AirPods max? One of the images shows a microphone (3.5mm) to the iPhone (which would simulate the AirPods max)

This is correct, the controller has a built-in mic that can be used for chat. No clue how good it sounds but it should get you by, unless the APM somehow disable the controller Mic but I can't imagine you aren't able to change the mic yourself to the controller one.
