Have brand new Kraken X 7.1 Headset and windows refuses to let me use it.

The headset works and all, but the 7.1 surround system I got with the headset doesn't work. I try to select it, and windows just forces it back to boom audio. (The current audio software I use.) I tried using synapse, didn't work. Tried to set 7.1 Surround Sound as default, didn't work, just forced it back to boom audio. If I could PLEASE get help, I'd be very happy and grateful.

Hey there! Thanks for starting this thread. Have you downloaded the 7.1 surround sound software and updated the audio drivers? You can also refer to this link if you need more details about 7.1 surround sound. Feel free to send me a PM or visit our self-help options should you have other questions or concerns.
