Audio

I purchased a pair of Razer BlackShark V3s, and I can't configure them in the Razer Synapse app because it doesn't detect them. I've checked, and the official website says it's not compatible with the V3 series, but in videos online, people use Synapse to configure their headsets. Is there a solution, or another program where I can configure my headset? Thanks.

I’m using the Razer Kraken V3 Pro and Synapse 4 seems to be connected with my headset, however it says it is powered off. I press and hold the power button until the green light appears and flashes. This green light I’m assuming means that the headset is powered on. However Synapse still says the device is powered off, and I cannot hear audio. I’ve been stuck on this issue for weeks. (Also the dongle is plugged in securely) I’ve updated the firmware, the pairing system, the drivers, I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled Synapse.I’ve made sure all audio is on and the device is set to default.  I would find it really helpful if I could see that green light turn to a red light which I assume means it is powered off.Except despite holding the power button for much longer than necessary, I can’t seem to power off my headset. Yet at the same time, Synapse 4 thinks it is already powered off and can never seem to register it being on. 

Hi there,I am overall satisfied with the product but however I noticed that my Barracuda X has broken plastic parts. Just to note that I care about my stuff and I still have old gadgets that look almost in mint condition, so not sure what happened here as i was really handling them with care. My warranty ran out like 4 months ago and I do not seek the replacement, rather advice to help me resolve my issue.  Here are the pictures of broken plastic parts, first is the left earpiece, the second is the right earpiecesince those are still working and all i see is that plastic will continue to break, I just want to know is there a way to buy this part, i will change it mysel

I’m on my second pair of this headset. Primary use is Xbox series x with some pc use. At the store both sets worked fine when I tried them. Get home, set them up on my Xbox, razer app, synapse on pc, updates, and upon initial power on, sound is super tinny, far away, and awful UNTIL I tap the EQ button then I gain full sound back. This happens EVERY power on. Razer support couldn’t help, the demos at the store didn’t experience this either. The issue is very clearly software related. The only thing Razer support wanted to worry about was pc. I bought them as they are the only Xbox compatible set Razer makes that’s wireless. For $250 this issue is unacceptable and it should load full volume on power on without me needing to do a single thing. I’ve done 4 factory resets and that doesn’t fix it either. It’s clear this headset isn’t ready for market.  otherwise the headset is comfy and sounds good. Battery life is great. But cannot recommend these whatsoever at this time. 

I am only looking for the correct name of the dongle that came with the Razer Nari RC30-26801. I had already ordered one, but it turns out to be for the Razer Nari Ultymate and it does not pair.

Hello. I just bought a new Blackshark v2 X USB headset, and I can’t get the mute toggle and volume knobs to work. I had searched online and one suggested disabling Synapse. I did that and it worked (at least with the volume knob. I had noticed an issue with the mic at that point). I tried that again last night and it didn’t work. I noticed there are a lot of posts about this on these forums, but they are all locked without showing a solution. If there is a solution, please let me know. Otherwise I’ll have to return it.  Thank you!

I have my activation key but I can´t type it in the activation input field. I can´t paste the code in the input field. What to do?

Subject: Help with 7.1 Surround Sound Code RegistrationHi Razer Support,I bought a Razer headset, but I didn’t receive my 7.1 Surround Sound activation code.  The seller told me they did not register it, so I would like to know if this headset (or code) is already registered under any email address.  Could you please check and tell me which email it was registered with, or help me get my activation code?Thank you for your help!

When setting up a new set of headphones it looks like the headphones are not pairing with the dongle. When doing it the simple way per instructions the headphones just stay at flashing blue light. I’ve also tried the pairing utility and it fails every time. The headphones work via the 3.5mm lead, and also fail to pair when trying it on another laptop.My WIndows is up to date and so is the headphone drivers.Any other ideas of what I can try?

Hello, I just bought another pair of the 2nd Gen Hammerhead earbuds (the in-ear gummy buds) from Webdealz through Best Buy. They arrived with the plastic still around the box so I assume they havent been tampered with but I can't seem to get the earbuds to power on. I charged the case and have tried holding the touch buttons to turn them on but that hasn't seemed to work. I'm at a bit of a loss and worried I got them dead on arrival 

Привет, у меня проблема, пытаюсь получить код активации для 7.1. после ввода серийного номера устройства, в частности RAZER BLACKSHARK X, мне выдаёт, что я должен зарегистрировать устройство, но оно уже зарегистрировано, сколько раз не пытался, бестолку, помогите пожалуйста.

I am requesting urgent assistance from a higher-level Razer staff member who has access to the internal firmware update utility. Official Level 1 support (via Case ID: 251019-001027) consistently denied access to this file, claiming that "firmware is not available" or that the issue is a hardware defect.THE ACTUAL TECHNICAL PROBLEM:My Razer Nari Ultimate for Xbox One (RZ04-02910) headphones pair with my Xbox Series X console but are incorrectly recognized by the system. Instead of being identified as "Razer Nari Ultimate", the console registers them only as a "Headset". CONSEQUENCE OF MISIDENTIFICATION:No access to settings within the Razer Audio Setup for Xbox app.Dramatically distorted, flat, and suppressed audio, rendering the headphones unusable.COMMUNITY-KNOWN SOLUTION:This bug is widely known and documented across Razer Insider and Reddit forums. All users who have experienced this exact failure confirm that the only effe

Hello,I recently purchased brand new Razer headphones. When I tried to register the product, I received a message saying that the product is already activated. Since these headphones are absolutely new and have never been used before, I believe this must be an error.Could you please help me unbind or deactivate the previous registration so that I can register the product under my account?Thank you for your help.

I am having an issue trying to activate my seven point one.Surround sound for the razor black shark v two hyperspeeds.I've not gotten an activation code.And i'm also trying to set up the thx spatial audio

Hello!I know this headset is a thousand years old, but it's already 8 years old and works perfectly, that's why I'm writing here now.What happened is that since the last windows 10 update (yesterday morning) something is wrong with Razer Synapse.I don't know exactly if it was caused by the windows update, because at the same time I also saw the notification that support for synapse 2 would be discontinued.The problem is that the sound of the headset is as if Synapse is not installed, crap, the headset has a box sound.In theory, synapse loads normally, but it's still not good.I reinstalled Synapse, re-calibrated, loaded the settings from the cloud, but it still doesn't work.Please help because it's really annoying, I can't watch a youtube video like this.

I’ve had for about 6 months used my earphones on a daily basis as am someone who works out a lot and listens to music on a daily, lately I’ve been noticing that my left side ear phone is not laying more than 15 minutes, while my right side earphone is lasting 2 hours. Please help me fix it. 

I deeply regret buying the Razer Barracuda X. The headset itself had potential, but the experience turned into a huge disappointment. The main issue comes from the cheap dongle — it constantly disconnects, cuts audio, or simply stops working for no reason. After doing some research, I found out that this whole problem could easily be fixed with a simple 5-dollar chip, yet Razer never addressed it.What’s even worse is their customer support. They don’t stand behind their products at all. Instead of offering a real solution, they just copy-paste standard replies and act like it’s your fault. For a brand that sells itself as “premium,” the build quality of the dongle and the way they treat their customers is a joke.Razer is a big mistake bro i’m sorry be brave please

When I run the Surround Sound Installer, it just shows “Server access unavailable”. My connection has no problem, I have tried wifi, hotspot and lan cable.

Hey Insiders — I’m curious about your decision-making process when it comes to Razer gear. For example: At what point do you feel a gaming mouse or headset is “done” and should be replaced or upgraded? What signs make you think it’s worth sticking with a device (repairing, updating firmware, replacing parts) instead of buying new? Are there specific models or scenarios where you felt your expectations weren’t met, and you decided to just move on rather than wait for support or fixes? Would love to hear your real-world experiences, how long you kept your gear, what made you finally pull the trigger, and any advice you’d give to someone wondering whether to hold out or upgrade.

Hello,I’m experiencing a connectivity issue with my Razer BlackShark V3 X HyperSpeed headset.When I switch the headset to Bluetooth mode, it connects to my Bluetooth device normally.  However, even after I turn off Bluetooth on that device, the headset **does not switch back to the 2.4 GHz dongle connection** — it stays stuck in Bluetooth mode, constantly searching for a Bluetooth device instead of reconnecting to my PC.The only way to reconnect it to the dongle is by **plugging the headset into my PC with the USB-C charging cable**, waiting a few seconds, and then unplugging it.  After doing this, it connects properly to the dongle and works perfectly.  If I power it off and on again, it continues to connect to the dongle with no problem.  But once I use Bluetooth mode again, the issue repeats — the headset won’t detect the dongle automatically until I do the cable trick again.Since the BlackShark V3 X HyperSpeed has **no physical

Just got my new headset today but it seems to not have given me a activation code for the 7.1 audio so i tried to request one but it says already registered, and in case I don’t get the code is the headset not going to have normal surround audio? BTW I bought it from NOON KSA

Hi, since one week I have very poor quality of sound on my blackshark v2 pro 2023. I hade no changes. Probebly only windows update.Before it worked porfectly well, but since one week the quality is very bad. Just like in other comments. The bass is nealy gone while gaming to compare with one week before. Please help.

So, I bought blackshark v2 x headphones and wanted to activate 7.1 and register my product, but the system says that my product has already been registered. I didn't do it. Is there anything I can do about it or get help?

So I recently got this headset and I really like it, but it has a weird problem.Some time after starting the game, the headset begins to make a crackling sound, which stops after closing the game. If I use the headset to play for example a YouTube video, they work just fine. Also, when the problem with the sound appears, the microphone does the same thing whenever I use it. I guess it's a problem with wireless connection but I'm not really sure.I have the latest version of Synapse 3 installed, latest firmware installed on both headset and dongle. I also tried the razer troubleshooting guide and it didn't help. Just in case, I use a Viper V2 Pro mouse in wireless mode (I don't know if this can affect something but it works perfectly).I hope there's a fix for this problem because I really like this headset ​​​​

I purchased a headset labeled as "new" two days ago from Komputronik, a well-known electronics retailer in Poland. I received the product yesterday. After fully charging the headset using the original cable provided in the box, I connected it via Bluetooth and via the included USB dongle. The headset paired successfully and plays audio without issues.However, none of the Razer applications – including the Razer Audio mobile app, Razer Synapse, the Barracuda Firmware Updater, or the Pairing Utility – detect the device at all. The same issue occurs both on my desktop PC and my laptop. I also tried plugging the dongle directly into the device, with no success.Additionally, in Windows Device Manager, the headset appears only as "USBAudio1.0", which seems generic and not Razer-specific.So far, I have tried the following troubleshooting steps:
