Hi Johann,

There's some work to do on the code side of things, but in the Wwise project, you need to route these sounds to the Master Secondary Bus or child bus.

Note: Due to different latencies with the PS4 controller and various consummer receiver/TV setup, a best practice is to not send the same sounds to both output.

Check the information in the SDK documentation (C:\Program Files (x86)\Audiokinetic\Wwise vXYZ\SDK\Help), in the page Sound Engine Integration Walkthrough ยป Integrate Wwise Elements into Your Game >> Integrating Secondary Outputs.  Also, there is an example in the IntegrationDemo (in SDK\samples), in the MotionDemo.cpp file.
