Razer Kraken TE Surround not working

Hello Guys!

I recently bought the Razer Kraken TE. I installed the Synapse app and the 7.1 Surround App. When I was ingame I felt like there is no surround. So I am confused right now. Does I need to get the 7.1 Souround Sound App installed to get Surround or can I only use Synapse for it?

Also the EQ on Synapse doesnt work all the time. Sometimes he works sometime he doesnt work. Btw I only got one profile but it still dont work.

The 7.1 Surround Sound App also does not work. I got no "7.1 Souround Sound Audio" Output-Option on Audio Devices. Reinstalled it but there is still not output.

Sorry for my bad english, I am from austria :D
Every kind of help would be nice!

Hope to hear from you soon guys!

Thanks man for your answer...I enabled it now but it sounds not good. Also got no surround. Do I need the Razer Kraken Surround Sound 7.1 App to get Surround?
Razer Kraken TE and Ultimate have spatial audio pre-installed and you do not need the app. Also, spatial audio makes your audio a little bit less crisp, that is the cost of using it.

That's right, you also need to configure the headset with windows sound control panel. Sound settings > related settings > sound control panel

Oh thanks man! But what do you mean with configure the headset. THX is set on standard device.
