Good Morning
I hope you can help me - I own a Barracuda AC-1 as well as a HP-1 headset. I had this set up in Windows XP 32bit and got it working brilliantly - I love the combined clarity, comfort and bass (bzzzzzzzz).
However, I recently purchased Windows 7 64bit Home Premium. I installed it this weekend but I have been having trouble setting up the soundcard and headphones to get the same result as I get in Windows XP. I have installed the Windows 7 64bit (Compatible) driver. This time, however, there is no Barracuda AC-1 Control Panel (green and black screen) which normally allows me to make specific changes to the audio. I have only been able to select and test the speakers within Windows 7 Playback Devices. I have played with Quadraphonic, 5.1 and 7.1 settings and still have been unable to achieve the same result as achieved in Windows XP. In fact, if I play some music it only plays through the front two channels as I tested turning down the front channel volume on the headphone volume controller and this turned off all sound.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can achieve the same result as achived within XP where I have a AC-1 Control Panel (green and black screen) and achieve full sound through all channels.
Regards
Paul

Solution
Install this version if not already.
If that doesn't give you what you're looking for, I'm afraid you're out of luck:
Razer Barracuda AC-1 Windows 7 Driver v2.24

Hi Mate
That was the driver I tried. After a bit of forum research, this was the much anticipated AC-1 Windows 7 driver everyone was waiting for.... and I am wondering if I am doing something wrong, have other people been able to get full audio quality on thier Windows 7 installation
