Should Applications be outputting to Razer Nari Game, or THX Spatial Audio


I am wondering whether games and applications, that I want to hear surround sound from should be set to run audio through the Razer Nari game channel or through the THX spatial Audio channel. I can hear the game when it is run through Razer Nari Game and my headset is set to listen to THX spatial. Is the surround sound processing done between the Razer Nari Game and THX Spatial channels, or is it between THX Spatial and the headset?

I am also wondering about this question. I can not get a direct answer from the support team or forums.

You can select whichever device output you like to set for your headset. Initially, Razer Synapse 3.0 is used to utilize your headset's audio driver. However, the THX spatial sound was created even for analog headsets (3.5mm) as long as you are using the soundcard (e.g., Realtek Audio) as your output device in the THX Spatial Audio device selection.

Thanks for the info, so in synapse when I select for example THX competitive for csgo, that THX sound is coming out of the Razer Nari Ultimate - Game channel? There is also a bug in which when I am listening to a game or music and another sound interrupts it like a windows notification or discord sound, the audio loses depth and sounds off (this can happen many times and the audio will get a little worse every time). I don't know if that is a Synapse / Razer bug or just something wrong with my audio drivers in general.

The Razer Synapse 3.0 is the primary device output for your headset. Selecting THX device output will utilize the device's THX spatial sound feature. Let me know if it helps.
