kraken v4 doesnt enjoy using both game and chat audio | Razer Insider
Skip to main content

Ive had my kraken v4 headset for about a month and a half. I am being forced to use the game audio for EVERY audio output when i want to have discord set to chat audio. The reason for this is whenever changing discord to use chat audio when audio comes from discord after a few seconds all audio from the headset will cease, i can easily replicate this by changing the output and spamming my mute key which will cut it out. I have updated the headset and dongle firmware, and disabled all exclusive settings,  i saw a few people on here talk about something similar, but not exact a few months ago, does anyone have a solution?

+1 I’m in the same boat

Same issue

i can’t even get ANY audio to come through on the chat channel now no matter what i try or how i route the audio

Same Issue. Very annoying. It worked, then it didn’t.  

I have this issue as well.  I own a Kraken v4 Pro headset, I got it about a week ago.  If I want to use Discord chat, the default headset has to be the AG Bluetooth option.  I can hear games, I can hear system prompts, etc. using this.  I played Monster Hunter Wilds today using this setting.

If I want to talk to anyone IN-GAME I have to change my settings to the Kraken - Chat setting.  This turns off all sounds except the game I’m playing.  My microphone will not work in-game unless I do this.

To troubleshoot today, I attempted to update my settings in Synapse 4 (required for my headset) and it forced me to change the default sound device to Kraken - Game and Kraken - Chat, but then it would not pick up my microphone or my system.  When I changed my default settings back to AG Bluetooth, everything worked fine again outside the game, but I couldn’t communicate in-game anymore.
