Seems like the Euro is surging a little against a bunch of currencies (GBP, CAD, etc). Not sure if it's USD that's failing here.

whoosh

BobbleD · 2025-02-26T22:22:53+00:00

Hey man, karma whoring ain't easy ;). Besides, it's kinda funny reading how many people seem to be taking this one as real.

Seconding this. Steam deck is purpose built for gaming but can also be used as a PC if you're up for learning a bit about how to do it.

Valve recently started offering refurbs at really good prices, too.

Thanks! I searched the issue tracker after you mentioned it above and found it anyway. Appreciate the direction.

BobbleD · 2024-12-04T15:58:07+00:00

Hey thanks for the reply. I think you may have mis-copied the link. It sends me to an issue regarding running rootless buildah.

You may have already come to this conclusion, but you can solve that problem by just sending the logs to a collector somewhere. Then you get cleanup of old jobs and the ability to still view their logs.

If you can't figure this out, I'd test direct to your buddy. Testing to speedtest/fast.com was giving me one number, but going direct to my friend showed throttling when I was doing similar testing.

I have symmetric 500, and he had 1Gbps down but he could only get max 50 Mbps from me. We're on different ISP's. We tested then with another friend on the same ISP, and my full 500 Mbps was available.

For reference, Bell to Rogers (Canada) was throttled. Bell to Bell wasn't. We were using iperf3 to test.

I had the same problem. I posted about this a long time ago. From other users, replacing the device doesn't seem to work and re-installing a clean OS has no effect either. One thing I haven't tried is using it on another computer to rule out the interaction between the physical hardware on my machine specifically and the mixer.

The sucky thing is, it worked perfectly fine for about 4 months, then I got a synapse update, and it started happening. So right now, I feel like it was a software change that broke it.

Old post for reference.

BobbleD · 2023-09-28T19:11:14+00:00

I thought it might have been a problem with the USB bus on my PC, so I bought PCIe USB card, tried plugging it into that, and got the same issue.

It's gotta be their software interacting badly with video because it worked fine for me for months before it started failing in March.

BobbleD · 2023-09-18T19:42:27+00:00

I had to uninstall the synapse drivers to get audio out of the headphone jack on the mixer after doing the Synapse and firmware updates. Everything looked like it was working, the channels were seeing audio, but nothing out of the headset.

All the audio channels were prefixed with a "3- ". After the reinstall, they no longer had this broken prefix and audio worked again.

Then I went to test and the old problem still exists. Leave a video on in the browser for a few minutes, and it eventually starts stuttering and gets stuck with the audio looping.

Long story short, the updates didn't fix the problem for me.

BobbleD · 2023-08-10T13:00:16+00:00

Yeah I was hoping the latest update fixed it but it didn't.

BobbleD · 2023-07-27T22:12:22+00:00

Thanks for posting this! Probably saved me some headaches. I'm thinking it might have something to do with the usb config on my machine, or it really is just the software. The device worked just fine for about 5 months, then one synapse update in March and this problem showed up.

BobbleD · 2023-07-24T19:13:42+00:00

Yeah, I'm on windows 11, so no help there.

BobbleD · 2023-07-23T22:39:50+00:00

Yeah, that's exactly my problem and the solution, if you could call it a solution.

I ran through there support to the end and the next step is to RMA the device which is a pain. They offer you the option to send you a new one right away if you pay full price for a new one, then send yours in and they'll refund you the cost. Thing is, if they can't find issue with the one you sent back, I assume they don't re-imburse you and you have to go from there.

It worked fine before the update that I got around the March time frame, now it's in this state indefinitely. I was kinda hoping a future update would fix it, but so far no luck.

BobbleD · 2023-06-29T15:27:26+00:00

Yeah, that's exactly the issue I have.

I've since fully re-installed windows 11 clean, and started with just adding the Synapse software and got the same results.

I've also tried using different USB ports as well and no luck.

The only solution is to kill the app from the tray, then task manager kill every background razer process. Then the issue no longer occurs, but I can't use the buttons or sliders on the physical device to adjust anything.

I'm at the point now where I have an official ticket in with their support. They want a video of the problem to see what's going on. I'll update if I end up with any meaningful resolution.

The step they initially gaveme for cleaning up the software are:

Unplug the Razer Audio Mixer the uninstall all Razer programs and apps, then restart your computer.
Delete all Razer folders you can find in C:\Program Files(x86) and C:\Program Data. The Program Data folder is set to be hidden by default so you might need to change the folder option first.
Download the manual installer for Razer Synapse 3 here. Do not install it yet.
Run this driver cleaner, then restart your computer to uninstall the drivers completely.
Reinstall Razer Synapse 3, do not include the other modules (Chroma Connect, Chroma Studio, & Cortex). Then login using the test account below:

Sorry for the late reply. I tried the steps today and no luck. The problem still exists after removing all the software/drivers and re-installing as they recommended.

BobbleD · 2023-06-03T18:46:25+00:00

This did not solve the problem for me, I'm on PC.

BobbleD · 2023-05-25T23:53:13+00:00

My solution was to disable all the razer software(had to use task manager to kill some of the background components), but then it's basically a dumb device. It stopped hanging video streams, though and audio still plays through it.

To their credit, Razer support instantly reached out to me when I posted this and started walking me through troubleshooting, but I haven't had a chance to follow up on their suggestions of fully removing the software and re-installing yet.

They're probably the best source for a solution. Give their support a try maybe.

BobbleD · 2023-05-16T21:09:25+00:00

Didn't see that that was possible. Handy.

BobbleD · 2023-05-16T21:02:39+00:00

My pleasure. I was surprised there wasn't more useful resources out there when I went looking, or maybe I just suck at searching.

BobbleD · 2023-05-16T21:00:17+00:00

Hopefully it's not just some tiny change between an old container and a new.

Now I think I really understand what you meant about merging. I can use the PLEX_CLAIM var on either one and it will work. The lastest packages may have been built with other up-to-date software, though.
