Hi,

I’m experiencing an audio issue with my Razer BlackShark V3 Pro after updating the headset firmware using Firmware Updater v1.4.0_r1.

Previously, both “Razer BlackShark V3 Pro - Game” and “Razer BlackShark V3 Pro - Chat” outputs were working correctly. After the firmware update, the Chat output still works, but the Game output no longer produces any audio.

Troubleshooting performed:

  • Confirmed the “Game” output is visible and enabled in Windows.
  • Set “Razer BlackShark V3 Pro - Game” as the active/default output.
  • Checked Windows volume and device levels.
  • Restarted the headset and reconnected the wireless dongle.
  • Restarted Razer Synapse.
  • Tested the Game endpoint directly through Windows Sound Control Panel (mmsys.cpl).

Current behaviour:

  • “Razer BlackShark V3 Pro - Chat” works normally.
  • “Razer BlackShark V3 Pro - Game” produces no audio.
  • The issue appears to have started immediately after installing firmware v1.4.0_r1.

Could you please confirm whether this is a known issue with firmware v1.4.0_r1 and advise whether there is a supported firmware rollback, recovery procedure, or driver/endpoint reset available?

Please let me know if you require logs, Synapse diagnostics, firmware information, or screenshots from Device Manager / Windows Sound settings.

Razer Support won’t be able to confirm something like that in the public forum but if you report the troubleshooting and persistent error in a support ticket i.e. specific firmware updated, issue, they may be able to assist there. Good luck.
