Razer Barracuda - Not blinking when charging & Can't update firmware

It’s a major firmware bug and also it’s very annoying thing. When you try to charge your device while headphone on, your device may have this bug. Solution is very easy. Remove right speaker cap and four screw from unit. After that disconnect the Li-on battery from the unit for a while. When the battery disconnected try to turn on your unit. Then you can connect battery connector. That is the solution.   Enjoy!  I do confirm that it fixes the led issue and that it is really easy to do, thank you!It doesn’t fix the «power off» voice being cut when you turn it off but that… I guess it is as it is and is it really important? Not in my opinion.The weird part is that before, the firmware updater said an update was required (from v1.05.00 to v1.05.00_r2) and it never worked because the headset was shutting down almost immediately, but after this operation, it shows that my firmware is already up to date (v1.05.00_r2) and thus that no update is needed.Anyway, it is fixed now.Now remains a

Razer Barracuda - Not blinking when charging & Can't update firmware

I finally tested to plug and charge it while it was turned on and so far so good, the led works as it should.The operation is not risky at all, it's child play and there is no reason Razer should know that you opened the headset unless you tell them (or come here to brag about it, but even in this case it is very unlikely that the people in charge will see it).There is not a "50/50 chance of making things worse".It's about removing four screws, unplugging a connector, trying to turn on the headset to clear some memory and plugging the connector back. I don't see what you can do wrong unless you're the clumsiest person on this planet.Don't pull the speaker cap too hard and too far as there is a wire connecting it to the headset but that's about it, you still have a lot of room to move. You would really need to try to break it to break it.Now if your headset works fine and you don't feel the need to do anything about it, then good indeed, just don't do it, that's not worth it and I don't

synapse update now no more mixer at all

It is indeed intended and explicitly written in the patch notes of the update. And it is a way cleaner implementation than it was before in my humble opinion. That THX Processing "device" in Windows has always been a mess to deal with in the first place and a source of bugs and confusion.Also annoying was the fact that the "device" was kind of reinstalled from scratch everytime it was updated with Synapse. I've seen it change, and change in its behaviours, an uncountable number of times in the past year, and that was nothing like ideal, nothing like a finished, stable feature you can set up once and forget.Now the toggle is directly in Synapse and that's it.Now (again), there are maybe downsides or things that are not working as they should, I don't know, I don't use THX anyway, never use enhanced sound processing of any kind (except for testing, thus why I can speak about it) because I don't see the point (except for competitive games maybe) and it usually just sounds bad, but for my

The new user interface is awful

I lied, I forgot one good thing that comes with the new Synapse: the display of the device battery percentages in the systray menu. But that’s all, really. And even that looks bad in its current integration. Only the idea is good. I also would like to bring attention to that matter which, to my knowing, has never been addressed:

The new user interface is awful

I didn't speak, at any point, about how the software or the user interface is coded, this is totally irrelevant here, and no, this topic isn't just a rant. What I am talking about is pretty obvious, it is about what has changed or what is new, so the navigation bar, yes, the systray menu and other elements I can't recall now as I uninstalled this thing since then. I am obviously not talking about what hasn't changed which, by the way, makes the whole user interface even more inconsistent, obviously again.You are the one not helping. I don't have the time and the patience to go through each individual element that seems off and "bad" to explain how and why and how it should be done instead. I am speaking in general and already pointed at some fancy rainbow stuff, for example, and a lot of things should be self explanatory for whoever has ever worked in the UI/UX and graphic design fields. I mean, this thing actually looks like a huge amateurish patchwork. I also gave an example of what
