Train Salzburg to Vienna

Please advise me the simplest and cheapest train to take from Salzburg to Vienna. The more I research this the more confused I get. Thank you

To find the cheapest ticket is tricky, as both OeBB and Westbahn compete with bargain offers, valid under certain circumstances, e.g. on a special weekday, within a given timeframe, bound to a certain train, ticket sold in tobacco shops only, etc.

First of all, you need to define the day of your travel, the time you want to arrive in Vienna, and at what train station there. This would reduce the number of feasible trains drastically. Then you can look for the best offer for that selection.

As far as I know, the cheapest price at the moment is €14 from Salzburg to Vienna.

You mean the AKH, I assume. You should take the Westbahn train From Salzburg to Westbahnhof (make sure you get on the correct Westbahn train that ends at Westbahnhof, not Praterstern). From Westbahnhof you take the U6 to the AKH stop.
