7.1 Surround Sound Not Working

Hello, I have a Razer Kraken X headset, and I am using the 7.1 surround sound software, NOT synapse. When I follow the instructions the app gave (choose output in the software, then select 7.1 surround sound as your output in sounds) and there is absolutely no sound output. Some things I have already tried:

-Unchecking Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device under properties for both my headset and the surround sound
-Making sure the default format option is the same for both 7.1 and my headset
-Uninstalling Surround Sound and reinstalling
-Restarting my computer

I have lost count of the other smaller things I've tried and I'm at a loss of what to do to fix this. If anyone can help, that would be great! I don't want to weather the support system again, but I will if it is the only option. Thank you!

I also have same issue as of this week. It was working fine until I updated Windows 10 to 20H2. Now silence, when 7.1 audio is chosen.
