BlackShark V3 Pro dongle detected but no audio and no mic after firmware update

Hello Razer Support Team,

I am experiencing a critical issue with my BlackShark V3 headset following the latest firmware update. I have been trying to resolve this for hours without success.

The Problem:

  • The headset works perfectly via Bluetooth on my phone, which confirms the hardware is functional.

  • On PC, the dongle is detected by Windows and Razer Synapse.

  • In Windows Sound Settings, I can see the green audio bars moving, but there is absolutely no sound reaching the headset speakers and the microphone is not picking up any voice.

  • I am hearing unusual "beep... beep-beep... beep" sequences when turning on the headset while connected to the dongle.

What I Have Already Tried:

  • Used the Razer Pairing Utility; it says "Pairing Successful," but the issue persists.

  • Tried standard Firmware Updater v1.3.0, but it says the device is already up to date and won't allow a re-flash.

  • Completely reinstalled Razer Synapse and performed a clean driver wipe in Device Manager.

  • Tested on different USB ports (2.0 and 3.0) and performed a hard reset on the headset.

It seems the device is in a 'soft-brick' state where the 2.4GHz wireless protocol is corrupted. I am referring to this thread on Razer Insider (https://insider.razer.com/razer-support-45/blackshark-v3-pro-dongle-detected-but-no-audio-after-firmware-update-87506) as others are facing the exact same issue.

My Request: Please provide the direct download link for the BlackShark V3 Dongle Recovery Tool or a way to force-flash the firmware to overwrite the corrupted state.

Thank you for your urgent assistance.

I had only updated the dongle firmware initially. I realized that I also needed to update the headset separately by connecting it via the Type-C cable. The issue is now fully resolved and I no longer need assistance. You can close this thread. Thank you.
