I have a razer kraken . I scratched off the activation code to get the item registered on my account and downloaded the 7.1 Surround Sound program. It prompted me to log in and I did, but than nothing pops up. I go to the bottom right of the task bar to check the program, it says it is on, but when I click on it nothing happens but a small window above it to directs to me a website that is my account. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program multiple times now with nothing changing. I have ran it in admin mode and it still wont let me use it, I tried to run it in compatibility mode and it still wont work. My pc is a 64-bit system, so that shouldn't be an issue. In the debug I get this error over and over again. [1209/124735.207:ERROR:registration_protocol_win.cc(56)] CreateFile: The system cannot find the file specified. (0x2) *This is a repost, I was not sure if I should have needed to posted this in Razer Support or here in Audio to receive help, first time on the forum*

    I uninstaled 7.1 drivers because there was no headset registered in razer synapse and I thought it would help. Now when I install 7.1 surround sound I I need to press on sound and on headset (7.1 surround sound), but I dont have that option, only headset (Realtek audio), and speaker (Realtek audio). I dont know where to install 7.1 surround sound drivers. Can anyone help?

    This has to do with the files for the surround sound app being installed in the admin’s appdata/Local/Razer folder. If you are a secondary user on the system, you need to run as admin for it to work OR copy the admin’s appdata/Local/Razer folder to your own appdata/Local/Razer folder.

    this worked for me, I have another user account and moved the Razer folder to my current user account.

    I had this issue too. The problem was that i renamed my windows username some time ago and it was still using the old one. I noticed there was a folder with my old username in the Users folder with a Razer folder in AppData so I copied that folder to my current AppData folder and it worked again. Im on windows 11 btw.
