Hello, I got a logitech g633 about 1 year ago. Recently, the audio started crakling when playing intensive games like r6, and it really is making me mad. I have tried uninstalling it, reinstalling drivers, and using a new cable for it. the only thing i can think of is a few weeks ago i accidentally droped it and bend the cable that was in it, and made the socket for the cable loose, to which i got another cable. If this was the issue, though, you'd think it would happen 24/7, not when in a game only.

I had the G633's and they are to me now, horrendous. These Logitech gaming headsets are just 50$ cheap drivers with a skin worth 100$. Many many USB gaming headsets can start to crackle. They do this because the soundcard built in to them are broken or are starting to break. However. You can get good audio and understand it more by looking at the post in my signature below.

PM/DM me if you have any questions about audio.

Not entirely what you're experiencing, but my Logitech Z313 speaker system also started cracking recently. It's not connected via USB though.

I had a pair of Logitech speakers that started crackling, turned out the volume pot was dying--do you get crackling while adjusting the volume? I found at some places it would consistently crackle, whereas at others it would be quiet unless disturbed.
