Razer Tiamat 7.1 Not Working

[Black-Bird_04]

Hello everyone,

I don't know where to start but here we go. To start off, I have the M.S.I Z170A Gaming M7 MB with Windows 10 64bit. The problem I am having is this; my computer won't see they 7.1 but will do 5.1 BUT the sound with 5.1 and standard sound like [censored]. 5.1 sounds tinny and no base and standard is too boomy and muffled. I have updated my BIOS, my sound drivers, windows, the M.S.I Nahimic Software and evens Razer surround sound software that is optional. Still sounds like [censored] or won't work. So am I missing something?

The issue you're undergoing is apparent with almost every user on the www using the same OS while working on an onboard Realtek audio solution. Some have also complained of the same thing happening on VIA audio chipsetted solutions. There are two work arounds.

One being:
Uninstall your drivers and reinstall under compatibility mode -
Right click installer>Properties>Compatibility tab>Windows 7/8[from drop down menu]
Before which you should take care to disable automatic device driver feature in your OS.

The other being:
Buying a dedicated sound card that has support for Windows 10 and has a good reputation from the community with driver support. The primary reason the issue occurs is due to the fact that the drivers aren't communicating with the device or the OS.

We understand you're frustrated by your ordeals but there are better ways to express your anger on a family friendly site.
