Razer Man'O War Microphone Issues


So hello there dear Forum,

Ever since i bought the Razer Man O War 7.1 (Wire) the Microphone was doing whatever it likes to do.
I tryed so many settings and searched for solutions everywhere, nothing worked.

So everytime i speak it is giving me a Echo (Mic Monitoring is off, also Windows playback is off), it seems that the Mic is somehow too sensitive and is recording the sound that is coming out of the speakers too.
Even when i turn up the sensibility in Synapse it won't change anything, setting down the Mic Volume doesnt effect it too. (Well Mic sensibility won't change the sensibility somehow...)
Echo Reduction will lower the Mic Quality too a stage no one would like to hear me anymore, i cannot talk to anyone cause of the echo stacking up actually gavee me headache lol.

Edit: The Echo only apears somehow on Discord or Teamspeak, when i activate the Mic Monitoring in Synapse everything seems to be fine. Ive setted up many Mic's on Discord and Teamspeak, and never had such a issue, i tryed every setting, but the echo keeps appearing.

So heres a quick soundfile for understanding the issue better, you can also hear me canceling the voice record in the end... https://instaud.io/3FI3

I hope you guy's can help me ...

Your sincerely

Zensoran




**** Well this worked for some users, not for me ****



Here's the Reddit link that solved the problem: https://www.reddit.com/r/discordapp/comments/73hy3d/fix_for_microphone_echo_issues/

Quick Edit since i cannot edit the post somehow, so when i activate the Mic Monitoring or a Windows Voice Recorder everything is working just fine but as soon as i activate the listening Checkbox on the Microphone properties im just getting the Echo stacking up unlimited, the same happens for Teamspeak or Discord.
Realy that needs to be fixed since the Man O War Headset was just my backup if my 5 Year old Kraken Chrome gives up, well it did died 2 days ago and the Man O War Mic ist not realy doing what it should do.

Just to make sure that we're on the same page, do you have the USB or the 3.5mm jack variant of the ManO'War? Also, how long have you had the headset and have you recently ran Synapse and Windows update?

USB, Yes and Yes everything is up to date.
Kinda weird that it is working with a Voice Changer but in the Windows playback it is still appearing, somehow the Voicechanger is getting the right sound (Right sound means, normal without echo) and Windows, Ts and Discord keep giving me a echo. Also a Voice Recorder from the Microsoft store is working perfect, so it is a software problem, but the question is what windows is doing there.

To say it short:

Teamspeak, Discord and Windows "Listen" option, are giving back a echo.

Voice Recorder or Voice Changer are working perfectly. (Voicechanger = Voicemod, Voice Recorder = Recorder 8)

Problem gotta be somewhere between Windows Recording the voice and Windows sending the voice to the program, somehow some programs are getting the signal before windows is messing everything up (don't know if it's windows fault) btw, also tryed it on a fresh installation of windows last year, same issue.

Thank you for replying anyways 🙂

@Zensoran There have been changes on how device drivers work on Windows and I'm thinking that this has something to do with what you're currently experiencing. I highly recommend that you uninstall the current device drivers and download new ones using the Windows Updater. Do send me a PM should the problem persist.
