[Question] PS4 Audio

Hi, guys! New to PS4 (gaming in general) and the sub.

Just a question (this is probably an old one for a lot of you so I apologize for my ignorance in advance), I have a USB powered speakers (Logitech Speaker System Z120 to be exact) and I know PS4's audio system can be tricky since I only know 2 options for it:

1.) Use a converter 2.) Plug your 3.5mm speaker/headphones jack to the controller

My question is if there's a difference in audio quality between the #1 and #2?

I've been doing #2 and just plugging the audio jack to the controller since it's fairly easier but the speaker volume is so low even on max volume. If they do have a difference, I'm willing to do the complicated converter #1, if none, it must be my speakers? (Although it's loud on my laptop)

Your help would be very much appreciated! Thank you.
