Hi everyone!

I use Kraken V3 Pro headset.

Does anybody faced with a quiet microphone sound after the update 3.8.1031.110912? My friends used to be able to hear me perfectly at 100% microphone volume in discord, but after this update I can barely be heard, that even increasing the volume of my voice in discord to 200% helps poorly.

I'll note that the problem is definitely not in the microphone, because the problem manifested itself immediately after the update, exactly in the middle of the session in CS2 (I had to restart my computer, and after restarting and logging into discord, the difference was immediately noticeable).

Thanks!

Im having the same issue. I wanted to try and uninstall drivers but.. some reason its greyed out. I have tried removing.. re-installing synapse software.. everything maxed out volume… voice is barely picking up in speech recognition.. everyone complaining my voice is too quiet in discord. Nothing seems to increase the volume. Voice also randomly is a normal volume off and on for no apparent reason.

I’m having the same issue with Razer Nari Essential. Tried reinstalling Synapse, the drivers and changing the system settings but with no success.

Same problem, my microphone is basically unusable at this point.

Same here on my Black Shark v2 Pro

same problem with razer kraken kitty edition

I should note that the update, which was released on November 29th, solved the problem with the Kraken V3 Pro that I pointed out in this thread - now the microphone works at a normal volume, and my friends no longer turn the volume of my voice to maximum in Discord.

Is there an update? Neither the app nor the website lists any updated version.

Kraken V3 Pro is still having mic issues everywhere I use it. Is there a fix?

What is the name of this update und were can i get it?

Did anyone ever find a solution to this issue? Or did Razer put out another update or anything? I’m experiencing the same issue and all I keep saying is “I don’t understand how this is an issue when it was working completely fine before.” I’m getting so f’n fed up with this.

Same here with Kraken V3 Pro, also came with the driver update in November. This is really annoying, tried every configuration, did a clean driver reinstall, even a windows reinstall. It’s unusable since my game mates can hardly hear anything. Switching back to my old headset now…

I am in the same boat. I bought this headset last year and just started my first game stream tonight.

Voice was super quiet and distant even though I was talking very loudly. I have everything possible boosted to be heard. Just not enough.

If this gaming headset is not good enough to game with…. come on Razer, I put a lot of investment with you over the years.

Just to add another +1 to this. This was all working fine until an update has changed something. I don’t recall exactly when my issue started, however it has been going on for quite some time. I’ve searched all over the interwebs to see many people reporting this same issue across various Razer headsets, with no response from Razer and no fixes that work.

It’d be really nice to get some kind of response from Razer regarding this issue. AUD$300 is a lot of money to spend on a headset that doesn’t do what it is supposed to do.
