Today i decided to make a counter strike go video using shadow play today until i found something odd. Playing back what i had recorded i noticed that the game sounds like it is echoing. Like recording the game from some speakers. After doing some research i noticed how my razer kraken pro is not appearing on the realtek hd audio manager tab. Please help!

The razer kraken pro 7.1 is plugged in using a single usb cable.

Before i used the turtle beach x12 and it was totally fine.
It has a slot for a usb, a mic, and for the actual sound.

Of course its not. Its not just a headset which is basically speakers.

It is its own soundcard and speaker assembly. Install the drivers then select it to be the default sound & recording device.

Unless you use the Synapse software, you're not getting the performance as Razer intended you to have. You may also need to make some changes to your sound settings in the control panel section.
