    Razer Kraken V2 - Microsoft Teams (work or school) says "Your speakers aren´t working" & "Your microphone isn´t working"

    Since I upgraded to Windows 11 my Razer Kraken V2 can´t be used for calls and meetings in Microsoft Teams (work or school).

    While making a test-call there comes a pop-up saying: "Your speakers aren´t working" & "Your microphone isn´t working".

    With the newest software installed from the Razer Website (Razer Synapse 3.7.131.11810 & Razer Synapse 2.21) it isn´t working.

    When I tried to unistall Razer Synapse and reboot afterwards, it won´t change a thing - the only solution was to unistall razer synaps, uninstall the driver in the device-manager for the headphones and also for the microphone.

    No Razer Synapse means no 7.1 sound, nor bass optimization.

    I already asked the Razer support about that topic - they said when everything else (beside Microsoft Teams) the problem isn´t on their side?!

    A Week ago, everything was working fine under Windows 10, thats the funny thing.

    Any guesses what to do, so it will work again with the correct drivers?
