![]() Do you want (a), or (b), or (b) plus some other applications? If so which applications are those?ĭoes the headset have some control panel where there is some setting that might be causing this problem? Have you asked Razer? I’ve already explained what to do (a) if you want to use the Razer USB headset as your main playback device for all applications on the computer, or (b) if you want to use the headset only for listening to your recordings in Audacity. If the problem only recently started happening, it may help to think of which applications you installed that may have caused the problem. In either of those cases that is happening because you installed a virtual sound device or some audio app that makes changes like that. It is possible to have a “virtual” device (a software application that behaves like an audio device) or it is possible that some app starts that wants to manage sound and so makes one of the physical or virtual devices the Windows default device for sound playback when you don’t want that. If a program was to do this problem, then which program should I configure.įairly obviously, we can’t see your computer to tell you what applications you have.Īs I said, the behaviour you describe sounds to me that an audio device starts up that becomes the Windows default playback device.Īudio devices are usually hardware - a physical device. If you still need help, please give us that information. You should have read the pink panel at the top of the page and given us your version of Audacity and Windows. If all you want to use the headset for is listening to your recordings in Audacity, then all you need to do is open the Audacity Device Toolbar then explicitly choose the Razer as the playback (output) device, and not the “Sound Mapper - Output” or “Primary Sound Driver” which is always the same as whatever the current Windows default playback device is. If you want to use this Razer USB headset as your main playback device for all applications on the computer, it needs to be set in the Windows sound control panel as the default Windows playback device. So when you press the power button to start up again after “Shut Down”, you’re actually getting the previous kernel session rather than a freshly initialised kernel session. This is because Windows 8 Shut Down by default uses “Hybrid boot” which stores information from the system kernel and the device drivers to hiberfil.sys. However if you are on Windows 8, it is (confusingly) better to choose “Restart”, explicitly using the WIN + X menu in Windows 8.1 to “Restart” and not Shut Down. ![]() ![]() That generally means choosing Shut Down, then wait, then use the Power On button, rather than choosing Restart. I mean what is known as a “cold boot” where the machine boots from a completely powerless state. When you mean reboot, do you mean restart computer? ![]()
