7.1 Software And Speakers
Sorry for the weird title, but what I mean is, I recently purchased the All Star Bundle from Costco (for $150! what a deal!), love everything it has. Im fairly new to the headset game, Im usually always a speaker person, sound has and will always be a key component for me. The Blackshark V2 X is awesome, very lightweight, and sounds great-when it worked.
Heres where it gets tricky. I was hoping to use both my 5.1 speaker set up and use the Blackshark with the 7.1 software Razer provides.
****Obviously not at the same time****
I was trying to use my speakers while I game and listen to music and movies during the day, and in the late night hours, switch to the headphones.
The set up was easy, and it seemed to work at first, but when I switched the default back and forth, to test if I can do what I was hoping to do, I lost all sound, and the mic didnt work. Also when I switched it back to the speakers, I got small popping sounds and no sound from music or games. Uninstalled.
What im working with
Windows Home 64 (v1903)
AMD Radeon R9 Fury X
16GB ram
intel i7 5820K 3.30
Internal - Creative Sound Blaster Recon 3Di
I am using the Blackshark splitter it came with seeing my computer does not have the single 3.5 plug in. The Creative software reads the headphones fine, and WITHOUT the 7.1 software, works fine, I just have to manually switch from 5.1 speakers to the headphones, plus the mic works great.
As of right now, the software is uninstalled. Yes I registered the scratch off with my account, so reinstalling is no problem. However, I really am hesitant seeing it literally turned of all my sound and mic.
My apologies for the long post, but seeing I am very new to headphones, I felt I needed to be a little more detailed. Thanks for any and all help!
