Razer Kraken Ultime with Razer Synapse

I got the Razer Kraken Ultimate about a month ago, maybe even less to be honest. And there have been a couple things really annoying me about the Razer Kraken Ultimate headset and Razer Synapse. When I registered my Kraken Ultimate I was really stoked to see I could choose which audio setting I could put certain apps to using the Mixer when I selected the Kraken. After I set the THX Spatial - Synapse audio device to my default audio device using the tests in Synapse stopped working. When I use the "calibration" test in the Mixer, I can't hear the helicopter when it's played in front of me, I can hear it when it's in front and to the right, then everywhere else it's silent. Until the helicopter sound gets in front of me and to the left. And that is only when I have the THX Spatial - Synapse audio device set to default. I don't know if this is a headset issue, or a software issue, probably software. But it's very annoying.
Two more things.
I really hate how loud the Razer Kraken Ultimates are, usually headphones set to around 50% volume would be a good volume for playing video games, but these headsets are so loud, I would go deaf if I had them at even 30% volume.
Last problem, when I set my Kraken Ultimates spatialization mode to either "Game Mode" or "Surround Sound", that setting never stays, once my PC restarts, I have to reapply that setting, every, single, time.

I think the reason for this is, because it has a conflict with Windows sound configuration.

Microsoft / Windows have made so that peripheral settings can be adjusted through their Windows Control Panel interface or Windows applications.

I have a RAZER Kiyo, everytime I set the camera config on Synapse, it resets to default.
Turns out Windows Camera config have a higher privilege to override the Synapse settings.
