Audio "issues" with Barracuda X (2022) (?)

Hey, I might be a dummy but I’ve just put my hands on brand new (for me) headset - Barracuda X (2022) and I have and issue with audio soft. 

 

First of all synapse can’t see the headset, no matter if I’m using dongle or the jack cable

Second of all, shouldn’t I have access to THX Spatial Audio thingy to mix up the audio? Because ngl audio feel off (I’ve got the 7.1 sound thing after registering product bt that’s a different thing)

And there’s the 3rd - audio equalizer. Do I need to use something not-Razer-related in that case or..? Because if I’ll use jack cable and connect it to sound card I had from different headset from past everything is alright but… I’ve paid for the wireless aspect, right? I have awful history with headphone cables and mine are getting damages really fast for so reason, like I’m cursed ;-;

 

Sorry if answers to these are obvious or something, I feel overhelmed.

Thanks in advance! :)

Are you referring to the Razer Barracuda X (2022) (RZ04-0443)? If yes, the headset audio can only be tweaked via the 7.1 Surround Sound app (see the supported headset from this list). If you will be connecting the headset through its 3.5mm cable, it will be detected as an analog device and have limited audio settings that you can tweak via Synapse 3 or 4. The same goes if the headset is connected via wireless using its Type-C dongle. Feel free to send me a PM should you need additional assistance.
