Okay, so last night my headset started turning on and off rapidly and I had no idea what was wrong with it. It is a Logitech G930 and I am on the latest drivers for the Logitech gaming software. I also have a few other audio things that I have no idea what they do. One is some sort of Realtek audio manager thing, and the other is Asus Sonic Suite. Both came from the motherboard drivers and it hasn't been a problem until now. My sound only works in Teamspeak at the moment, and I have no clue what the problem is.

SOS
pls help

Need a bit more troubleshooting and information.....

Does the "on off" happen with every application/game or just one application/game in particular? Is the 'on off" now continuous or intermittent (random)? Any pattern to the "on off" starting and stopping?

First eliminate a physical problem with the headset. Wiggle all of the wires, plugs, and connections to see if you can duplicate the "on off".

Try the headset on another device or system.

Then you will have to sit down and work through the various settings that are available when you "right click" the little speaker icon in the lower right part of your monitor screen. (Provided that the icon has not been moved.)

You may not have knowingly changed any audio settings but...

You may not have knowingly changed any audio settings but some software update or bug may have.

Try to narrow down the circumstances....
