Blackwidow Elite mute button not turning red when pressed


Hey everyone,
As the title states, my mute button is no longer turning red when pressed. It's still muting, so it's not losing that functionality. And it's still lighting up based off of whatever effect I have set (in this case, wheel). But it used to light up all red when muted and now that's not happening. It's much more useful for me than I thought it would be and losing that functionality is driving me crazy today. Any ideas?

I have:
Restarted machine.
Reinstalled Synapse.
Changed effect.

I have a Razer Huntsman Elite, and as of the most recent Synapse update that I installed two days ago, I have exactly the same issue. I can still change all the effects, colours, create custom lighting combinations etc. All other functionality seems unaffected, but the multimedia volume control/mute button now just follows the rest of the keyboard(which for me is static purple) and no longer turns red when muted.

It's not the end of the world obviously, but it is very annoying as I have cause to frequently toggle the mute for my sound on and off throughout the day and this visual indicator was immensely useful especially for when something is running full screen and I cannot see the system tray indicator at that moment in time.

I have also tried restarting, reinstalling synapse and wasted far too much time messing with lighting effects to both test and attempt to fix this.
I'm having the exact same problem. Seemed to start after the latest update. Hopefully it's just a bug that they fix quickly.
I have the same issue on my blackwidow elit keyboard...
If i unnistall the keyboard and intstall again, it start's to work, but, if i reboot my machine, back to the problem again...

Thanks mate! I've replied to your PM. I'll wait for your follow-up.
The latest updated that I received yesterday appears to have resolved the Mute button issue. Install the latest update and see if that works for you too.
I've already sent the keyboard to Razer, they asked me to...
Thank you anyway...
