Razer Barracuda X volume low on 2.4g


BluepineGaming

Hi, I have a problem with my Razer Barracuda X Plus (model name may vary depending on region). The sounds are too quiet. This only happens when I connect it via my 2.4g receiver. It started to happen yesterday. My firmware is updated and i dont think thats the problem. Its like the volume has been tuned down. I used to set my volume to about 30%, in which i liked and was loud enough for my liking. But now, I have to turn it to about 60% to get similar sound volumes. This doesnt happen when connected via bluetooth, its almost too loud if connected via bluetooth. Can I get some help? Thanks.

Can’t help you but I have found the same issue. Got them yesterday and max system+headset volume over 2.4ghz is too low. 100% all over the board should be unbearable, not a normal setting to listen to music. 

 

You’re not alone in this issue.

Making the Barracuda X my default audio output instead of the 7.1 speaker fixed this!!

If You Barracuda X Plus With Sound Blaster Or Realtek Audio  At The Same Time

Open Sound Contgrol Pannel to Th Speaker Option And Go To Advanced Option,

Turn Off The Audio Enhanced Check Box, And Attempted Using Barracuda X Plus

On 2.4Gh Wireless Dongle Mode.

Audio Enhanced Means Sound Card’s Self  Surround Effect, So If You Turn On And

Use Barracuda X Plus, You Use Two Surrounds Effects,

I Think It Crashing To Each Other. Please Turn Off Sound Card’s Audio Enhanced Option.

If You Want Using Barracuda X Plus’s Surround Effect.

I Glad To Give Support To You Some Reason.

And If You Sound Blaster G6 Or Higher Level Sound Cards

Change Speaker Playback : 32bit 48KHz → 24Bit 48Khz

I Don’s Know Reason, But When It Plays At 24 Bit 48k

It having Action Correctly. 

Good Luck

Fix for Low Volume on Barracuda X (2.4GHz) on Windows 11 23H2

  • Open Sound Settings (Win + R, type mmsys.cpl, hit Enter).
  • Go to the Playback tab and find Razer Barracuda X 2.4 (might be different).
  • Click Properties, then head to the Levels tab.
  • Drop the volume down a bit, then set it back to 100%.


Your volume should now be back to normal. Not sure why this happens, but it works! Let me know if it helps.

I registered just to say.. THANKS!!!! Holy crap I’ve been dealing with this issue for over a year and couldn’t figure it out. This worked immediately to fix my volume. Creating a script to automate this task at startup. Thanks again!

Hello, final update that doesn’t need any script
 

Tips & Fix for Low Volume on Razer Barracuda X (2.4GHz) on Windows 11

 

1️⃣ Set Windows volume to 99% instead of 100% (fixes the weird audio bug).
2️⃣ Turn on your headset during the boot screen (before Windows fully loads).

  • If you hear "pairing," you're good to go. (this fixes the headset not connecting or not being detected in windows)

3️⃣ Turn off your headset after your PC is completely off (prevents weird connection bugs).

this should fix all the problems, razer could have just provided some driver for this or maybe a software but no lets focus on phone users bruh

This also happened to me today =(

 

Big difference being i never paired it with PC, it happened after pairing over bluetooth with my iPhone to see what settings were available in the  app. I changed the EQ to game mode, noticed the volume was lower, then put it back to Default and it’s never been the same since. I would say it’s about 20% less volume even at man.
