Windows 10: I have an Rig headset

I have an Rig headset that has worked fine for me for over a year now. But, all of a sudden the last month it has started echoing and often playing my internal sounds game Im playing or youtube video Im watching through my mic. I have done everything I can like switching settings on and off in the recording and audio tabs of the sound control panel, making sure my headset is my default device, updating drivers, uninstalling and reinstalling my audio drivers, etc. and cannot find a fix anywhere. If I go to System settings on Windows, and then go to Sound, whenever my Master Volume bar goes up

Good surround sound headset

I know you say you're not that guy, but stepping into the $250+ range really brings a change in build quality that might have you never having to buy another set. Otherwise, getting 6 speakers with decent sound in a headset is hard, and that's what you are asking for, and I have no suggestions, but just a bump up the list. *Stick Out Tongue
