My windows was 20h2 before. I installed clean windows now. I unplugged everything but a4 tech mouse. After windows install completed i installed razer synapse without any usb device. After this first i plugged my razer viper and reboot then updated with synapse. I did the same with blackwidow and finally i did it for blackshark v2. Now its working. I didnt update and windows thing. After realtek driver its still okey. Now im installing other drivers and i'll see if its working or not.
and here weird thing again. After i log in with my razer id mixer was gone again. I logged of and continue as a guest it seems working now.

Ok that sounds like a good start. Let me know if you install anything that breaks it. What version of windows are you on now? Maybe I should try uninstalling my Realtek drivers...

seems like, after played apex legends once the all game profiles gone again. Then only apex showed up. And it was gone again once. Im on windows 20H2 right now. Realtek might be a problem im not sure or steam i dont know. I didnt install anything else. Now its working but idk after reboot i guess its gonna stop again

Well I guess sometimes is better than not at all. Don't have time to rebuild my PC right now... Razer support sent me a couple of new steps to try, will let you know the outcome

Hey @puggyy1! Thanks for sharing what you've found out after uninstalling Steam. By the way, the team wants to check your latest Synapse logs after the uninstallation of Steam. I'll wait for your follow-up via PM. Hi @Meisner57! Were you able to replicate the issue after uninstalling Steam? I understand that the step is not a fix. I want to gather the information that can help the investigation held by the Support Team. Feel free to update this thread or send me a PM if anything comes up.

I just did a normal uninstall. I will do a more througher one tomorrow. I use to have apex installed, don't remember if it was via steam. Will let you know how the deeper test goes. Are you saying the issue comes back as soon as you install steam or apex?

Hello everyone, I'm having the same issue here. I have the Razer Kraken TE and THX Spatial - Synapse doesn't work. My headphones are just working with Razer Audio Control - Game. This issue occured since I have updated Windows to its latest version, but I can read that I'm not the only one having this problem. Do we just have to wait for drivers to be upgraded? Thanks in advance All the best, EmaxD787

Just for those who haven't checked... I was having issues with my THX spatial audio not working and apparently overnight the chat/game volume dial got turned all the way down. If you are not paying attention and this dial is all the way down YOU WILL NOT GET ANY SOUND.... I was only able to get sound when my sound settings were set to the chat version of the headset, not the game, and especially not the THX audio. great way to waste like 3 hours uninstalling and reinstalling drivers...
Oh my god thank you. That switch sucks anyway.

Same problem with Nari essential headset. Any solution?

Lmao this is still happening lol, I own the Razer Nari Ultimate and I've been having this problem for over a year. Contacted Razer several times, going through all sort of steps just to end up with hearing it's a third party problem and the issue isn't on their side. Such bs tbh. Equalizer just stops working completely randomly and sometimes when I start an app (Usually with a game) my sound quality changes.

Feels like my sound has a suppressor on it, suppressing what it's supposed to sound like, everything's so quiet
