Razer Kraken v4 wireless headset sound settings in conflict with Windows sound settings

Hello.

 

I have recently purchased the new Razer Kraken v4 wireless headset.

 

When I open its properties in Razer Synapse, it requests me to make the “Game” sound setting the default sound setting.

 

However, with the “Razer Kraken V4 - Game” setting, I cannot play audio on Spotify and YouTube, as the music gets paused immediately, even when I attempt to resume it.

 

The only way to fix this is to go into my computer’s settings: Control panel > Sound and set the Razer Kraken v4 as the default output device.

 

This would normally be completely fine and standard, however, the audio setting that Windows 11 sets as the default output setting on this new headset is “Razer Kraken V4 - BT”. This makes Spotify and YouTube work as intended, but it now makes me unable to edit my headset in Razer Synapse, because Synapse forces me to switch to “Razer Kraken V4 - Game” in order to do that, which means it forces me to use the setting that makes Spotify and YouTube unusable.

 

Is there any fix for this? I want to simultaneously be able to use Spotify and YouTube, while also retaining the ability to edit my headset settings in Razer Synapse.
