Well, I probably did something wrong as suddenly 7.1 surround sound stopped working with my headphones. They now only play in stereo, and when I select 7.1 surround sound, even when enabled in Razer's software as these are Razer headphones, no audio is played at all. I don't know if Razer's software is the issue as it doesn't really have many options besides being on or off, but it may also be conflicting softwares as I also have Nahimic installed on my computer as well. I uninstalled Nahimic, and the problem persisted, and I just reinstalled it, and the problem still persists. I don't know what else to try currently, so I am asking for help. If anyone else has had this issue, or you're just more knowledgeable, please do respond.

Hey, I figured it out after about an hour of messing with stuff. Turns out it was a software conflicting issue. I fully disabled Nahimic, and now 7.1 audio seems to be working, which is really weird since I didn't even enable Nahimic software in the first place, and then suddenly it turns itself on and tries to take over. Weird, but it is at least working now.
