Troubleshooting

I have no audio when using the Razer Kraken 2019 headset. How can I fix

this?

Here are a few suggestions that may help:

Make sure the in-line volume control is turned up. Rotate the volume wheel on the in-line control to increase the volume.
Check that the correct playback device is selected under Control Panel > Sound > Playback. Select the correct device, right-click, and select “Set as Default Device”.
Check the computer volume levels and make sure it is not muted or turned all the way down.

I cannot hear game audio when using the Razer Kraken 2019 headset on a PS4

or Xbox One. How do I fix this?

When using any 3.5mm headset with a gaming console (ex. PS4, Xbox One, and the like) the game/chat balance or mixer, is controlled by the console. Some controllers have the game/chat mixer and volume controls built-in. In this case, these levels can be modified via the controller. You may refer to your PS4 or Xbox One manuals.

How do I clean my Razer Kraken 2019 headset?

We cannot say with certainty what type of dirt and debris may be on your product, or how certain cleaning products may react with it, but we have had good luck cleaning Razer products using commonly available monitor cleaning wipes. To clean the body of your Razer Kraken 2019 headset, take a monitor wipe and use gentle wiping motions. Do not scrub the surface of your Razer headset.

When cleaning the earpads on your headset, take extra care to not get any liquids inside the earcup and onto the speaker itself, as this may damage your headset.
