Kraken V4 Wireless – PS5 microphone echo / feedback issue

Hello everyone,

 

I am experiencing a serious microphone echo / feedback problem with my Kraken V4 Wireless when using it on PlayStation 5.

 

The headset works perfectly on PC, but on PS5 the microphone consistently picks up the sound coming from the earcups at normal playable volume levels. This causes other players in party chat to hear their own voices echoed back.

This happens even when:

 

  • PS5 microphone level is set to minimum
  • Noise suppression and echo cancellation are enabled
  • Sidetone / mic monitoring is disabled

 

 

The only way to avoid the echo is lowering the headset volume so much that the game becomes unplayable.

 

Because the headset is advertised as PS5 compatible, this makes it unusable for its intended purpose on console.

 

Has anyone found a real workaround, Synapse hardware profile, or firmware solution for this issue?

Is Razer aware of this problem and is any fix planned?

 

Thank you very much in advance.

I am having this issue too in my PS5. I tried turning the mic volume all the way down, but that just makes the echo quieter. I had to set the mic to my controller for now, just because the echo was so bad. I just bought this headset too, so if there isn't a fix, I'd like to know so I can get a different one.

    Hey, I’m still not able to fully fix this either. The only workaround I’ve found so far is lowering the in-game voice chat volume (not the master/game volume). After doing that, the echo become much less noticeable.

     

    I honestly don’t fully understand how it’s possible that the game itself can be loud while the voice chat needs to be turned down separately, but somehow this prevents the echo from coming back.

     

    I really hope Razer addresses and fixes this issue soon.
