I have a Razer Blackshark v2, connected to my Windows PC with the sound card, and with the latest Synapse installed.
I have two options in the Windows sound devices:
"Razer USB sound card" and "THX spatial audio". I personally find the THX spatial audio kind of muffled and I don't like it for the majority of the things I am doing. Is it supposed to sound good for audio that is not 7.1, am I doing something wrong?
Additionally, I am getting a prompt by the Razer Appengine to activate THX, which I have not done since I do not have an activation code. As I understand THX works from synapse, so can I disable razer appengine overall? It is also my understanding that the Blackshark v2 does not come with an activation code for THX, is this correct? Do I have to/can I activate THX from Razer Appengine or is Synapse all I need?
In any case, I prefer to use the "Razer USB sound card" and that's where my main question is.
Razer USB sound card is set up as Stereo and cannot be configured as 7.1. Is there a way to have 7.1 audio configured on the sound card without spatial THX sound, or that's not how it works? Does playing a 7.1 audio file, or a movie with 7.1 sound on vlc for example, with the "Razer USB sound card" as default device use the headset as 7.1, or as Stereo?
