Need some help with some sound card/tiamat 7.1 incompatibility.

My soundcard is a SoundBlaster Recon3D PCIe that runs 5.1 surround sound, I've got my tiamat 7.1 plugged into it but whenever I have the sound card in 5.1 mode, the sound channels in my headset randomly swap around, e.g. one moment it's fine and the next I've got speech coming in through the subwoofer and I can't hear anything that's being said.

So I'd like to ask for any suggestions for 7.1 sound cards that work with the tiamat 7.1/v2 so I can actually use the surround sound and not have it always set to stereo. I remember this site had a list of suggested sound cards a long time ago but I can't find it anymore.

Thanks.

Yeah Creative seems to be ditching 7.1 altogether on their cards (even their newest one doesn't have 7.1 output). The ASUS Strix series would have to be your best bet or you can probably use your mobo's onboard audio if it has 7.1 output.

Anyone who missed out on getting their order in (or had their order cancelled as was the case for @Kirinketsu) due to the Razer store being out of stock can also use the same Amazon link I provided earlier.


Most of the time when Amazon has listed "Usually ships within" and as example "Usually ships within 1 to 2 months" This is the time frame for Amazon to receive the item and ship it meaning they also do not have the item in stock but should receive the item and ship it out in that time frame, that being said they are back in stock at the Razer store and it looks like my order is going to process this time

Just got the head set, anyone else using these with gigabyte z170x gaming 5?

I'll buy these when my Tiamat 7.1 v1 dies, other then the visuals the technical specs are almost the same. The mic specs are way different but the only difference on the speakers is their db, other than that they are still the same size and have the same frequency response.

Absolutly amazing

The world’s first true surround gaming headset returns, better than ever, and of course with that new sexy Razer Chroma lighting.

The new Razer Tiamat 7.1 V2 analog gaming headset sports 5 discrete drivers on each ear cup to deliver a robust true surround sound experience with unparalleled precision. Technically sound (heh), the sorcery is enhanced through its accompanying Audio Control Unit that lets you fine-tune audio settings for each driver. Master the battlefield by defining the soundstage, take victory through sheer audio advantage.

PC enthusiasts rejoice — there’s no need to choose between a Razer Leviathan speaker setup or a headset configuration. The Audio Control Unit doubles up as an audio pass through to allow quick switching between headset and your external speakers.

Hardcore gaming audio, accompanied with matching ergonomics - we’ve redesigned the headband to double up on comfort and fully accommodate your most intense and lengthy battles.


Available alongside the true 7.1 headset is the new Razer Tiamat 2.2 V2. That’s a lot of 2s. 2 discrete subwoofers, 2 custom-tuned audio drivers. Take that bass response up a couple of notches and hear your games rumble to life. Punch up your audio experience anywhere, whether you’re on PC, consoles or mobile.

Epic Sound, Epic Bass.

The headset looks nice. My 6y old son was like can you get that. The headsets I own: Mionix Nash 20 (PC gaming), Samsung Level Pro (walking on the streets, music and movies), PDP After GLow 7.1 (console gaming, but can be aswell used for PC) but thres is no Tiamat, Kraken or Manowar that could remove one of the others position in gaming curently XD some day maybe. My current dream peripherals from Razer, Replacing my Roccat Kova with the Lancehead wireless (since I could use both, free cable salad and with cable), my no name gaming keyboard Saturn from UtechSmart with the Blackwiddow V2 and then the headset shall come next. But that seemingly will not happen till mid 2018 or perhaps even 2019....depending on the zSilver programm HA HA, or winning in Lottery, what ever comes first

I just received the headset yesterday, but after setting it up I gotta say... it was not that great. They dont sound that great. I am now wondering if im doing something wrong, connected them wrong or the Realtek or sound settings arent set correctly. Does any one else have these? I need some feedback.

Have you ever used 5.1/7.1speaker or stereo headphones before? Most USB headsets come with their own build in Amp/DAC, think of it as a mini sound card built in that you are paying extra for and have custom audio setting applied such as an equalizer or amplified lows, mids, highs, bass. The audio controller that comes with the Tiamat 7.1 only controls the volume for each driver and to change channels from stereo to 7.1, nothing more, unlike some other headsets or headphones that have a controller that also has built in equalizer, marked with Sports, Racing, FPS, Footsteps, Movie, Music.

Without a custom equalizer setting the headset will be flat no amplified bass, lows, highs, mids, no custom settings to allow you to hear gunshots, footsteps. Realtek based on your motherboard might have an equalizer in its software, but unless you have a high-end motherboard something like ROG or EVGA mother board and even then the Tiamat 7.1 will not sound as good as they would with a dedicated sound card or Amp/DAC, even a dedicated 5.1 sound card will sound better over the onboard 7.1 for most motherboards.

No, these are my first analog 7.1 headphones. I am using the soundboard from the Gigabyte Gaming 5, I went through some settings to try to fix the sound but the last thing I did was set the Line in to act as the side speaker. I will be configuring more settings today so I will continue my testing as I am also learning lol. Still awaiting feedback to see if anyone has similar motherboard and headset and no soundcard.

What Gigabyte Gaming 5 board, it might have came with Sound Blaster X-Fi MB3, that should have audio settings allowing you to set up EQ settings and enhance bass ect

Gigabyte Gaming 5 Z170X, and yes it does which is exactly what I will be messing with today. I dont know anything about the software though so I would be going in there blindly.
