Anyone here using the Kraken 7.1 and has issues with skype?

everytime when i want to call someone it says problem with playback device -.- the microphone works tho..

1)When selected, I can't seem to configure the Kraken 7.1 (K7.1) . Can't click on the button.
2)And under Devices and printer, the K7.1 is listed under 'unspecified' .
3)apparently when I try to configure it again, i can't hear the helicopter sound/audio playback from the Razer Synapse 2.0. WEIRD.

C.K Multimedia system @ Subang Avenue there

100% sure out of the box Razer Kraken 7.1 USB haha.

and they JUST only restocked.

ps : this shop is kinda famous with the owner where people call her "aunty". So i guess it is not the shop's problem.........

Update!

Previously I was having problems with the Kraken 7.1 (check page 41 of this thread, thanks!)

apparently I kinda fixed it myself.

1) I uninstalled Razer Sypnase 2.0
2) Uninstalled Razer Kraken 71 from Device Manager
3) Remove all Razer Surround/Razer Kraken 7.1 keys/data from Registry
4) reboot then re-install Razer Sypnase 2.0 then reboot after installing
5) plug in Kraken 7.1 and let Sypnase do it's job and Windows to install driver software
6) Tadaa! Zero issues and now I can experience the Virtual 7.1 fully! (Tested with COD: Ghost and CS: GO and Team Fortress 2)


NOTE : Registry edit must not be done unless you are 100% sure of what you're doing OR when you are rich enough to buy a new pc/laptop. These steps provided are fix for my own issue (problem with Skype and 7.1 calibration) . If you want to follow these steps, please take note that I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE if you encounter a problem or messed your PC up. Altho it works for me, I am not 100% sure that it will work for you.

ALWAYS MAKE A SYSTEM RESTORE POINT BEFORE TOUCHING THE REGISTRY.

Hope I help some people out there! Just want to share this info Thanks!

I still think that Razer should provide headset casing (Like the Megalodon) for every high-end headset we buy.. Kraken 7.1.. etc.. or at least sell it as part of it's 'gaming accessories' chain

DA Black edition is your answer. I have it for almost two years and it's still perfect. First few weeks will be tough because the surface of the mouse is VERY slippery so you might slip a lot.

If you really hate glossy surface, get this thing called "Plastidip" at ACE hardware. Google/youtube it (they even use this to spray cars)

It gives you a PEEL ABLE rubberized surface.

I can use my Orca's cushion on my Kraken 7.1 LOL

Your luck is bad. I have my Lachesis for 6 years and its still working perfectly fine except the rubberized surface is................. gone.

Got my DA black edition for 4 years and it's still good. No issues nothing...

Friend of mine had the same issue (this is quite famous).

open it up, then put some thin layer (he used cellophane tape) at the place where your wheel clicks on the button and yeah. it takes time and patience but this will definitely fix it.

A better option : warranty
