Razer Krakens Reject Audio From Some Applications

Been using my Razer Krakens for around two years now, when one day I went to use them and they seemingly stopped working. I changed applications and then they worked just fine, no distortion or anything. Made sure they were the default device in the Windows Audio and Recording settings, checked the mixer to see if the application was muted or turned all the way down, but still the problem prevailed. I have reinstalled Razer Synapse, but that hasn't solved it either. When I looked in the mixer within Razer Synapse, I noticed that most applications were being picked up by the software but not all (Discord and Google Chrome seem to be the two main ones being rejected). They just never seem to appear in the Synapse software. Does anybody have any experience with Razer's software? 

The audio problem doesn't seem to be within Windows, as all the programs can be seen in the Windows mixer and work on all other audio devices, its isolated within the Razer sound system.
