Razer Blackshark V3 ( PC ) Volume Wheel doesnt work

Hello,

I am experiencing a persistent issue with my Razer BlackShark V3 where the volume wheel does not work at all in Windows, despite everything else functioning correctly.

System details:

  • Windows 11

  • Connection via 2.4 GHz wireless dongle

  • Latest firmware installed

  • Latest version of Razer Synapse installed (clean reinstall)

Observed behavior:

  • Audio output works correctly (Game / Chat devices function as expected)

  • Microphone works correctly

  • Bluetooth pairing works correctly

  • Razer Synapse detects the headset normally

  • Rotating the volume wheel does not change Windows volume and produces no reaction

Key technical finding:
In Device Manager → Human Interface Devices, there is no HID Consumer Control / Media Device associated with the headset.
Only generic entries like:

  • “HID-compliant headset”

  • “USB Input Device”
    are present.

As far as I understand, the volume wheel should enumerate as a separate HID consumer device to send volume up/down events to Windows. Since this HID device is completely missing, Windows never receives any input from the wheel.
