Synapse 4 fails to detect the default audio device in Windows. Despite the correct headset, the BlackShark V2 Pro 2023, being selected in both Windows settings and the Control Panel, Synapse 4 repeatedly prompts to set the headset as the default device. As a result, none of the headset feature's function, the microphone, volume controls, or EQ settings work. Multiple attempts at reinstalling, restarting, and troubleshooting have not resolved the issue.Thanks.

SAME ISSUE! Immediate fix needed…Since then the microphone has been in a constant loop, Discord doesn't work, noise reduction etc. Nothing works anymore. Software is a complete disaster now.
