[Fixed}Kraken 7.1 V2 No audio

R
Issue: My game is not picking up kraken headset. I am getting no sound at all from them for this one single game. My assumption is that since the headset is a legacy item and this is an updated Synapse something there isn't meshing well and something is going wrong. Everything else works. All other games work. All other applications work. I had an issue before with Synapse stopped working with my naga mouse. Kraken headset worked fine. I had to update Synapse and redo all of my mouse settings. I got all of that sorted out. For the first time since updating Synapse I opened up my game and nothing. No sound is being picked up. I unplug my headset and sound fills the room. I plug in some knock off earbuds that barely fit and sound comes through. I try an old headset where only the right side works and sound comes through. It is only with the kraken headset where I get nothing.

    Fixed it. Legit had to make the game ignore Synapse 3 and go through my computer and play through its speakers. Then I changed the settings to have it play through the headset using an older Synapse. To make sure Synapse settings was the issue I undid my solution so use Synapse 3 and it the game stops picking up the headset again. Also it seems that the issue is only the V2 as I have the model before it and it works fine. Only the V2 is ignored by the game.
