Default Audio Output Issue with Razer Synapse 4 Beta


Hello everyone,

I am currently using the Razer Synapse 4 Beta, and my computer is connected to both a soundbar and a BlackShark V2 Pro headset. However, every time I start my computer, it automatically switches the output to the BlackShark V2 Pro. This is quite confusing to me.

Has anyone else encountered a similar issue? Or does anyone know a solution to have my computer default to the soundbar upon startup instead of automatically switching to the headset? Thanks for your help!

Same issue, ever since I installed the Synapse Beta, when I turn my PC on in the morning it has switched default sound device in windows away from my speakers to my headset.

Did a test and it has nothing to do with the PC restarting, it seems when Synapse 4 starts up it will force windows to set the connected/known razer audio device as the default audio device whether this device is turned on or not.

100% same issue.. Every reboot it changes it to the blackshark.

Same here with my Nari Ultimate, it constantly resets to “Chat” instead of “Game” output

have the same problem to, hope razer will pay attention to it.

same Problem,( i dont want always the headphones as main output ) 

Was wondering what was going wrong, but it’s definitely this - whenever the synapse beta loads it changes the default sound settings. This is a critical issue - deal-breaker for streamers that need to use an audio mixer to manage sound.

i am looking the Kraft Club band music without song. Would you help me to find it?

This issue is, for some reason, intended behavior and i don’t care for it. I run my pc through an AVR sound system, but every time i restart or get a Synapse Beta update the sound output is again switched to my Nari Ultimate. 

And the issue lies in Synapse, since the audio device will not change if i disable Synapse from the startup apps.

CTRL+WIN+V is the shortcut to the audio devices, at least. Just press those keys and click your preferred output device

Razer:  Please change this “Intended Behavior” it is extremely annoying to have to change these every reboot, and I’ve even considered going back to the old Synapse and away from the Beta because of it.  This should not be the default behavior, or you should provide a way to control this behavior at the very least.

And it is not only this - Synapse Beta also complains every time that the “correct device” is not selected for Nari (although I believe Game should be the default device and not Chat - which Synapse Beta keeps setting the default to).
