Issues with 7.1 surround sound?

Hi. I recently bought the Razer Blackshark V2 X (USB type A version). It functions correctly, however when I have the 7.1 surround sound enabled, the audio is randomly crackly. This is very annoying as I have to turn this feature of in order to enjoy my experience while using them.

I have tried going through synapse to disable THX audio (my headset is incompatible so I can’t change anything on the app), changed USB ports, checked for dirt, etc. Nothing has fixed the issue though.

Has anybody experienced and resolved the same issue?

Hello there, ​@boardLimeGreensmart419!

 

Does it make any difference when the Razer Synapse software is temporarily disabled? You can also update your headset’s firmware. If that didn’t do the trick, then shoot me a PM along with your device’s serial number so I can validate it and check for other workarounds.
