Razer Barracuda X Quiet Sounds Cut Off

I recently purchased a Razer Barracuda X headset after using a very old and broken headset for a long time. I am extremely happy with it save for one thing: in some of the games I play, audio that originates from a certain distance or is below a certain volume seems to just get cut out. I cannot hear sounds other players make unless they are relatively close to me. I’ve tried pretty much everything I’ve seen online. This issue persisted between devices, after completely uninstalling 7.1 surround sound and restarting my computer, trying different USB ports, adjusting computer audio settings, etc. My old headset, despite being very low-end and broken, still registered the quieter sounds that originated farther from my location. I haven’t seen anyone else mention this specific issue, but I’m hopeful that someone can give me guidance on how to fix this. Thank you in advance to anyone who can help me!

Hi Ga_Hooligan,

Sorry to hear you’re running into this audio issue with your Barracuda X. To help narrow it down, could you let us know if you’ve tried testing the headset with different games or audio sources, and whether the issue still happens when 7.1 surround sound is disabled? Please send me a PM me with the device serial number so I can verify its model and check for other workarounds to fix the issue. Thank you!
