Razer Blackshark v2x Splitter not working

Hey everyone,

I’m having a really frustrating issue with my Razer BlackShark V2 X and I seriously don’t know what to do anymore.

Whenever I’m on Discord, people can hear:

their own voices echoing back

my YouTube videos

Spotify/music

basically all desktop audio through my mic

Even if the volume is low, the mic somehow picks up my PC audio. It sounds like some kind of crosstalk/audio bleeding issue.

After researching online, I found that many people say the problem is related to:

the splitter cable

7.1 surround software

Realtek settings

or Windows audio configuration

I mostly use Discord, so this is becoming a huge problem for me. My friends complain constantly because everything I play gets transmitted through my mic.

Things I already tried:

lowering mic volume

Discord echo/noise settings

reinstalling drivers

changing ports

checking “Listen to this device” is OFF

testing different Discord settings

I suspect the splitter might be faulty because I read multiple posts where replacing/removing the splitter fixed the issue.

My setup:

Razer BlackShark V2X

Windows PC

Using the included audio/mic splitter

Mostly Discord usage

Has anyone here fixed this permanently? Should I:

buy a better splitter?

get a USB sound card/DAC?

uninstall Razer 7.1 software?

change Realtek settings?

I’d really appreciate any help because this issue is driving me crazy.
