I bought the Razer Blackshark v2 X, but I can't get the code for 7.1 surround sound. I registered the headphones, and the system says that the code will be sent to my email, but it's not there, not even in the spam folder. I've requested the code about 10 times, but it's been a day, and I still haven't received it. I haven't used Razer products before, and because of that, I don't understand how to contact technical support, as there are answers to already asked questions everywhere. Is there another way to get my 7.1 sound code?

Have you used the online self-request service? https://mysupport.razer.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/6301

Yes, I already mentioned that I had requested a code via email, but it never arrived.

 

How?

This website automatically generates the activation code (it’ll also send a copy via email) - but the main thing is that it’ll show the code as on the screen below:

I just bought my Kraken Kitty V3 X headset, I eventually got the activation code for 7.1 Surround sound, but when I try to enter it, it’s not valid?

 

And also, how come the 

is in the list 

Which headsets are 7.1 Surround supported?

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

but when I try to choose my device, which is a Kraken Kitty V3 X headset, it’s not eligible?

 

Am I missing something? Is the information wrong? Why do I get an activation code if my headset is not eligible? And why does the physical manual tell me that 7.1 Surround sound is recommended to get the full experience of my headset?

Time stamps on my pc is Sweden local time.

I recently bought a Blackshark V3 Pro headset. I want to experience THX surround sound in THX-supported games like Hunt Showdown, but there's no new or detailed information on how to use it. I select THX spatial audio through Synapse, but when I select "Speakers (THX spatial)" in Windows Sound settings, no sound comes out. Can you help me?

I don’t use THX personally, but I never change the audio output to THX Spatial, just leave it for the Blackshark V3 Pro and control THX (on or off through Synapse).

So, I don't need to change the sound source through Windows Sound settings; I need just select "THX Spatial" via Synapse, right?

I just received a kraken V3 X as a Christmas present yesterday, however it didn’t come with an activation code. I also do not know the date it was purchased as it was given to me as a gift. Is there any way to get the surround sound activated without getting the date?

Date is not important here to receive the code. Just type the date when you’ve received it.
