- Works great, but looks kinda bad.
- Lots of stupid sounds. Why are they even included?
Usage and troubleshooting ∞
Use backtick `
as push-to-talk ∞
[Solution/Workaround] - Discord push to talk does not work ∞
(Discord)
https://github.com/iXab3r/MicSwitch/issues/109
With MicSwitch 1.0.253, using Discord (latest version as of 2023-04-19), push to talk does not work; Discord remains muted.
Discord is itself set to perform push to talk with same key, in this case the `
(backtick) key.
The workaround is to have MicSwitch "suppress" disabled.
Three things work:
1. MicSwitch passes the `
key to Discord, and Discord is set to push-to-talk.
2. MicSwitch passes the `
key to Discord, and Discord is set to voice activity.
3. MicSwitch does not pass the push to talk key, and Discord is set to voice activity
I don't know that MicSwitch can check for Discord and operate differently, so I'd say this is a documentation problem.

Push To Talk, although that's abandoned (but works/worked on Windows 10 and Windows 11
