For many of you having issues, I would like to recommend checking the Services tab in Task Manager. If your "Razer Chroma SDK Service" is "Not Running" or "Stopped", right-click and select "Start" or "Start Service". I was having difficulty trying to get this audio visualizer to work, spending approximately four and a half days to no avail. I tried every other solution posted here, but none of them worked for me. Couldn't find any other answers online that I haven't already tried, and I practically gave up all hope. Then one day, I was poking around my Services tab in Task Manager, and low and behold, "Razer Chroma SDK Service" was marked as "Stopped". And I kid you not, the very moment I right-clicked and pressed "Start", suddenly all of my Razer Chroma equipment went black (no lighting effects). With a sudden wind of hope rushing through me, I opened up YouTube and played a video, and sure enough the audio visualizer was working! So if any of you are still having issues, check your "Razer Chroma SDK Service" in the Services tab of Task Manager!


If that doesn't work, do a full uninstall and reinstall of Synapse (both versions if you use both, otherwise whichever version you have installed). I got my Blade Pro this week and it had been factory reset to Windows 10 clean install (bought used). I installed Synapse 2 and I could set the keyboard colors from Synapse, but no Chroma apps worked. I tested Keyboard Visualizer and Overwatch, neither worked. I rebooted and restarted the Chroma SDK service but neither worked. I then uninstalled Synapse, rebooted, and reinstalled it. Chroma apps are working fine now.

Does is it work with Cynosa/Cynosa Pro. It sucks if only my mousepad and mouse are only working.

I just added code support for the Nommo Chroma and Nommo Pro. Sorry these took so long, I had prototypes to add support for but lost my code and didn't have time to rewrite it. I had time now so I rewrote the support and committed them. It will be in the next build.

Hey guys I just got razer blackwidow v2 tournament edition ytd and I tried all kind of solution like add razer generic effect to the setting file yet It all went dark and nothing happened.
Any help would be appreciated or it’s not supported yet ?

Does it work with the Razer Cynosa Chroma Keyboards?
A
I tried with KeyboardVisualizerVC 3.05 preview in the visualizer shows it running but my keyboard stays black. I have a cynosa chroma. I tried with synapse on/off alongside the visualizer.
Any help would be appreciated.

On the next release I'm just going to make the generic effect the default setting so new keyboards get automatically supported. The custom effects as used now will still be available with a new option razer_use_keyboard_custom_effect, though the only keyboard it's super important for is the Deathstalker Chroma with its lack of per key control. The other keyboards will just have a bit different scaling. I've already committed this change but haven't pushed a new build yet. I also added the Nommo Chroma and Pro, I added support before but lost my code and didn't have time until now to rewrite it.

New release is out on the Releases page. Nommo Chroma and Pro are added, generic keyboard effect is now the default so previously non-working keyboards now work, and there are some other additions as well including support for Espurna firmware flashed RGB light bulbs and ASUS Aura Sync.

Hi I own a Razer Cynosa Chroma and this app isn´t working, i open the .exe and nothing happens. I´ve already installed 3.06 version which is supposed to make it compatible. Also i have tried adding the line razer_use_keyboard_custom_effect to the settings file. And i wish to know if i have to close synapse to make it work.
A
Looks really cool, I'll try it later.
C
You do not want to use razer_use_keyboard_custom_effect with the Cynosa, Blade Pro, or Huntsman series of keyboards. These are only supported by the generic effect, which is now default in 3.06. If it's not working, you should try uninstalling and reinstalling Synapse. I just bought myself a new Huntsman Elite which should work similarly to the Cynosa with its underglow effects and the Huntsman Elite works fine with 3.06 with no modifications.

This isn't working on my Blackwidow X Chroma but works fine on my mamba te mouse. Any ideas why?

Try reinstalling Synapse. Are you using Synapse 2 or 3? Sometimes devices stop working with the Chroma SDK and this seems more common with Synapse 2.

I´ve reinstalled Synapse 3 and now it works fine. Thanks!

The AudioVisualizer doesnt work with my Razer Blackwidow Chroma V2. Is it necessary to install Visual C++2015 when I have the 2017 version? Because I installed the 2015 one and the 2017 after and then the 2017 one was gone.

If the visualizer app opens, you don't need to mess with the visual C++ runtime.

It opens. The first time I opened it the default chroma effect appeared and I started tweaking some settings, however the sound is not visualized. If I select White as background mode the LEDs turn white but no audio is visualized.

Try increasing the Amplitude field. Some sound cards it seems need very high numbers like 10000.

Both of these work. For best results get version 3.06 from my GitHub Releases page:

https://github.com/CalcProgrammer1/KeyboardVisualizerVCUI_Release

Also supported in 3.06: Cynosa, Huntsman/Elite, Blade Pro, and any other unsupported board. I'm using the generic effects as default now which work with any Razer SDK supported keyboard.

Thank you for the Visualizer, I've used it since the earliest version. I recently purchased a pair of Nommo Chroma speakers so I upgraded Visualizer to ver 3.06. In ver 3.05 the speakers just showed the higher end frequencies with the lower end frequencies displaying on the keyboard and mouse (which would be an awesome feature to have). Now each device shows the full spectrum (awesome!). Unfortunately the spectrum on the speakers stays mostly maxed out while it looks great on the mouse and keyboard with the amplitude set at 300%. Is there any way to tweak the display sensitivity (amplitude 😵 per device?
