In the case of Razer headsets, it\u2019s the consistent report by some users claiming to be hearing a muffling sound while it\u2019s in use.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-815\" src=\"https:\/\/audiojust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/razer-headset-sounds-muffled.jpg\" alt=\"razer headset sounds muffled\" width=\"700\" height=\"438\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this article, we\u2019ll be going through some troubleshooting guides on how to fix the muffled sounds you get from your Razer headset. Before we get into the brass tacks of this article, let\u2019s first outline some possible causes of this issue.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Razer Headset Sounds Muffled: Possible Causes<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Multiple issues could cause a Razer headset to start producing muffled sounds. The good thing is that most of these can easily be fixed, and guides on how to go about fixing them are very easy to follow.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Damaged Wires<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This issue is common among people using the Razer headset with its 3.5mm headphone cord. Over time, especially with poor maintenance, the wire can easily become damaged from excess tension.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In most cases, you\u2019ll get a muffled sound, but it becomes clearer when the cord is slightly tilted. Right away, you\u2019ll want to get a replacement to keep getting the best of your headset or resort to using the Bluetooth feature only.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Blown Speakers<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s so often the case with sound devices that are subjected to extremely loud audio for a repeated period. Aside from the obvious issue which is damaging your ears, there\u2019s the risk of bursting the speakers. To confirm if this is the case, you\u2019d, first of all, need to confirm that your issue isn\u2019t coming from the damaged audio wire.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If it\u2019s the cause, you may need to consult customer support if your warranty covers this, or if getting a new device is your only option. The bad news is that this isn\u2019t fixable, or at least fixing will more or less mean taking ear cups from another working headset.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Physical Damage<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This can either be from a damaged casing, moisture damage, or a break of any of the sound components. Even though Razer is praised for making durable products, there\u2019s a limit to these products\u2019 strengths which you\u2019d not want to exceed during handling.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More so, most models aren\u2019t waterproof, as such, they can easily get damaged by exposure to moisture. You\u2019ll want to consult customer support to know if your warranty covers damages from moisture or breakage of the casing.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Incorrect Razer Synapse Settings<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Razer Synapse 3 is a software that allows you to customize the settings of your headset, such as the sound profile, the microphone settings, and the lighting effects.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In most cases, if all the causes above don\u2019t apply to what\u2019s wrong with your headset, then it\u2019s likely to be because of your incorrect equalizer setting. Simply navigate the program to your Sound settings either make a few changes to the sound profile or reset entirely.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Accumulate Dirt in Ear Cups<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, your device is a headset, as such dirt from the ear wax is likely not to occur. However, you can\u2019t completely rule out the accumulation of dust especially if you\u2019ve been keeping it in an unhygienic environment.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Problem with Audio Source<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When everything seems to check out, the last possible cause of the muffling sound problem is your audio source. It is most likely that you\u2019re playing an audio file with very low quality in the first place. The audio source issue can also result from using the Bluetooth connection while you\u2019re quite far away from the playing device.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Razer Headset Sounds Muffled: How to Fix<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Raze headsets are very portable devices, they use internal rechargeable batteries and are sealed, so simply taking them apart to fix them is not an advised option. That being said, there are several troubleshooting procedures you can execute that don\u2019t require you to take apart the device.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Check your PC and Audio Ports<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before considering complex solutions, trying this out may be all you need to get things resolved.\u00a0 Many times, the issue can be related to dirt preventing the smooth insertion of your headphone cable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You want to examine the headphone jack\/ports to make sure that there\u2019s no obstruction and that they\u2019re clean. If any, pick off with a pin and blow out loose residue.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Replace Audio Cable<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the issue is with the cable; you can verify this by slightly tilting the cable to see if there\u2019s an improvement in the sound. You\u2019ll want to get a complete replacement or start using the Bluetooth alternative to connect with other devices.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Reset the Razer Synapse Settings<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your last resort, if you can\u2019t seem to find a problem with your device, is to perform a reset on the control software. In most cases, this is all you need to solve your problem especially if the headset is used to play without muffled sound. Here are the steps to resetting the Razer Synapse software.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Open Razer Synapse.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Click on the <\/span><b>Settings<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> icon in the top-right corner of the window.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Click on the <\/span><b>Advanced<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> tab.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scroll down to the <\/span><b>Reset Settings<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> section.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Click on the <\/span><b>Reset Settings<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> button.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Click on the <\/span><b>Yes<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> button to confirm.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Users often claim that complete installation can solve the issue, however, we recommend you reset first before uninstalling as you\u2019re not sure if the settings are saved in the headset when they\u2019re executed.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Razer is a well-known manufacturer of PC accessories.
