Before you post - 7.1 Surround and THX Spatial FAQ

Hi,

Due to many questions and misunderstandings I’ve created a small FAQ regarding 7.1 Surround and THX Spatial.

It is important to understand that 7.1 Surround IS NOT THX Spatial. These are 2 different surround technologies.

Before you create a new post on Razer Insider about 7.1 Surround or THX Spatial please use the search function and check below FAQ (and also manual included with the peripherals).

Which headsets are 7.1 Surround supported?

Full list is here: https://mysupport.razer.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/614

 

Which headsets are THX Spatial supported?

List for Synapse 3 devices is here: https://mysupport.razer.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/13808

The same devices + Kraken V4 / V4 Pro are supported via Synapse 4 software: https://www.razer.com/synapse-4 

 

I’ve registered headset with RazerID, got 7.1 surround key, but getting “The code you have entered does not seem to be valid. Please try again”

It’s likely you’ve installed THX Spatial app, instead Surround 7.1 app. Please uninstall THX Spatial app, download 7.1 surround https://www.razer.com/eu-en/71-surround-sound and activate with the received key.

 

Why am I getting a ”This device is already registered” error when registering BlackShark V2 X headset on RazerID?

It’s possible your headset is counterfeit and/or it’s from un-authorized distributor and/or reseller (like Aliexpress, Shopee, Lazada, eMAG, 3rd party Amazon sellers etc…). The best way is to return headset back, and get it from authorized source like Razer.com or Razer authorized resellers.

 

I’ve registered my headset with RazerID, but haven’t received 7.1 Surround activation code on my e-mail.

Please check spam folder on your e-mail. If the e-mail with activation code is not there, then please use self-service tool to receive 7.1 Surround activation code: https://mysupport.razer.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/6301


I’ve  purchased a BlackShark V2 / V2 Pro / Kraken V3 / V3 Pro etc… and didn’t received an activation code, and THX Spatial is asking for it.

Headsets like Blackshark V2 / V3 Pro / Kraken V3 / V3 Pro and so on… have THX Spatial built-in in Synapse software, no activation needed. If you’ve already installed external THX Spatial audio – uninstall it.

Did this topic help you find an answer to your question?

but kraken v3 pro users cannot use synapse software because no function works in the programme and the razer brand does not solve this problem :)

I have a little different problem. 50 % reward price for THX  audio cannot be activated in my country of the Czech Republic, even though it is in the list of supported countries. Thank you for any advice.

No problem here - it’s detected properly.

Have you tried Synapse clean reinstall? Also which Synapse do you use?

  1. Uninstall Synapse
  2. Download & run this tool: https://rzr.to/Tf53xj to remove any razer drivers/leftovers
  3. Then restart your PC
  4. After reboot install Synapse again (as administrator).

I may have tried this 20 times.

You don’t need a proof of purchase - just register it with your RazerID account - proof of purchase is optional, just put some approximate date of purchase (or maybe you can check in your card transaction history if you paid for it via credit card).

It’s already mentioned in FAQ. Return them and get from legit source.

Check spam folder if the activation code is not there.

If not, try self request new code https://mysupport.razer.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/6301

And you’ve previously told that it’s not registered product… lol. So is it registered or not?

The answer is in FAQ, check:

I’ve registered my headset with RazerID, but haven’t received 7.1 Surround activation code on my e-mail.

Please check spam folder on your e-mail. If the e-mail with activation code is not there, then please use self-service tool to receive 7.1 Surround activation code: https://mysupport.razer.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/6301
