  1. If you’ve already had Razer Synapse installed, pleaseuninstall it first.

  2. Go to the support center of Razer. UnderSelect a product , clickHeadsets & Audio .

After downloading the correct file, install it on your PC. Then, launch Razer Synapse and configure the settings for your Razer ManO’War mic. Check to see whether your mic has gone back to normal; if it hasn’t, then please give the next fix a shot.

Fix 4: Update your device drivers

Sometimes an out-dated or corrupt device driver (e.g., audio drivers, CPU drivers) may give rise to the mic-not-working issue. The reasons can hardly be elaborated, but chances are your Razer ManO’War mic may be messed up with its drivers or those of other hardware components. If you’re not sure whether all your device drivers are up-to-date, you should check.

You can do this in Windows Device Manager, one device at a time. But this takes a lot of time and patience, and if any of your drivers do happen to be out of date, you’ll need to manually update them, which is difficult and risky. If you don’t have the time, patience or computer skills to update your device drivers manually, you can do it automatically with Driver Easy .

Driver Easy will automatically recognize your system and find the correct drivers for it. You don’t need to know exactly what system your computer is running, you don’t need to risk downloading and installing the wrong driver, and you don’t need to worry about making a mistake when installing. Driver Easy takes care of everything.

You can update your drivers automatically with either the FREE or the Pro version of Driver Easy. But with the Pro version it takes just 2 clicks:

  1. Download and install Driver Easy.

  2. Run Driver Easy and click the Scan Now button. Driver Easy will then scan your computer and detect any problem drivers.

  1. Click Update All to automatically download and install the correct version of all the drivers that are missing or out of date on your system (this requires the Pro version – you’ll be prompted to upgrade when you click Update All). Or if you just want to update your audio driver for now, simply click the Update button next to it.

Note: you can do it for free if you like, but it’s partly manual.

If you have any problems using Driver Easy to update your driver, please feel free to email us at support@drivereasy.com . We’re always here to help.


Fix 5: Check for hardware malfunction

If none of the above fixes work, you should do some basic check and find out whether your Razer ManO’War mic fails. Here’s something you may need to do:

  • Plug your headset into other ports, and then test whether the mic continues to stop working;
  • If you have more than one computer at hand, try to use the mic on other computers and see if it works properly;
  • Make sure you don’t use the Razer ManO’War with aUSB3.0 enabled device at the same time (if you must use them simultaneously, then don’t place them in close proximity to each other);
  • If your computer has both an audio jack and a microphone jack, you may need to use anAudio/Mic splitter adapter (you can look it up on Amazon or other online stores) to get your mic working.

If, after taking all these steps your mic remains not working, you should probably contact Razer for further assistance or go to a repair shop.
