So, I recently got OBS Studio 0.16.2 and noticed that the audio sounds very muffled after doing some test recordings. After hours of fiddling with options and settings on multiple fronts, I found the cause to be related to my Razer Kraken Chroma 7.1 headset.

When, I make the default device my speakers it sounds perfectly clear like here.

Where as if, I make it my headset and record, it muffles the recordings audio like so.

I'd like to be able to use my headset with OBS but, I can't seem to find the problem on my own.

I've tried
  • Disabling 7.1 for programs and forcing them to stereo
  • Both 32bit and 64bit versions of OBS with administrative privileges
  • Disabling equalizers and other sound enhancements.
  • Updating both Razer and Realtek drivers.
  • Different USB ports for my Razer headset.
None of those did much of anything. I'd appreciate some help!
