So, I found a fix to a frequent problem that people have been experiencing with the Razer Kraken 7.1.
====ERROR====
When "Desktop Audio Device" is set to "Headset Earphone(Razer Kraken 7.1)", pressing the button "Record"/"Preview" an errror message will show stating:
"Cannot initialize desktop audio sound"
OBS will then close.
===PROBLEM===
OBS records the output using the default Windows driver, the Razer Kraken 7.1 uses Razer Synapse which is a custom driver built by Razer.
======FIX======
Simply force the closure of the Razer Synapse program. This can be done in 3 different ways:
1. Close Razer Synapse (Click the arrow at the bottom right of the screen, then right click Razer Synapse and click close)
Then do one of 3 things:
1. End the driver in task Manager.
2. Attempt to uninstall then cancel.
3. Uninstall the driver.
I hope this helped all the Razer users, if your headset or speakers use custom drivers this will probably work.
====NOTE====
-This will not work with Razer Kraken 7.1
-This will only work with Razer products that use synapse
-You will have to do this every time you turn on your computer (Unless you chose option 3)
Thanks.
