Though there are some rare exceptions, the vast majority of games are only going to be panning audio left and right across two channels in stereo/headphone mode. Yet another 'audiophile' post which doesn't understand that gaming on headphones requires some form of virtual surround for good positional audio, recommending stereo DACs over sound cards.

Thanks a lot Razer for making these awful products, fuck you in the ass!ĮDIT: Actually it has improved, I think it's just Discord when I unlock my computer and immediately undeafen. Discord just made another earsplitting noise.

And this post probably won't reach many people but I just needed to vent.ĮDIT: So it turns out that rolling back the driver doesn't do shit. This was kinda exaggerated but I really have had problems with this headset and it was fixed by rolling back the driver. THE CLOUD SYNC STILL DOESN'T WORK RIGHT!! This fucking turd claims to be 2.0, with better performance and bug fixes. The thing I hate most of all about Razer is their 'multi-device' tool, Razer Synapse. My Mamba TE sensor throws the mouse off the screen when I lift the mouse off of the mat. My Blackwidow Chroma has weird 'sticky keys', where if I press a key too quickly, it is virtually held down. Why in the holy mother of fuck do you put in your own shitty audio driver when the generic one works just fine?! WHY?!! I'll be honest, all the Razer products I've had have problems. And guess what? The lighting effects still work! The enhancements in Razer Synapse still work! Everything still works while the problems are gone! So I gotta ask Razer this question. I've had issues with this piece of shit for a while now and after hopelessly babbling to Razer Support and fucking around with audio settings, I found out that you can take Razer's audio driver and flush it down the shitter! You can roll back to a generic USB audio driver. It happens in Discord when the app gives me notifications, it happens in skype, and when playing games I have to turn it down to 1%.

This headset randomly boosts the volume of my pc to one million percent, to the point where the headset is distorted and vibrating.
