Discord Push to Talk Button Stops Working: Troubleshooting Guide

Are you frustrated with your Discord push-to-talk button not working as expected? You're not alone. Many users have experienced this issue, but with the right troubleshooting steps, you can get it up and running again.

To start, head to your Sound settings by clicking on the speaker icon in the bottom right corner of your screen. From there, select 'App Volume Select device preferences.' Scroll down until you find 'Advanced sound options.'

If you're still having trouble, try changing your push-to-talk button to one of your mouse keys or MB3. This is a common solution that many users have found effective.

Before moving on to the next step, make sure you can hear your team by selecting the Output of your preference in the Audio > Voice-Chat section. Change the Input device to the mic that you've selected earlier. If this doesn't work for you, don't worry - we're just getting started.

Here's a step-by-step guide to help you troubleshoot the issue:

1. Test your microphone by speaking into it and observing the bar under 'Test your microphone.' The bar should fluctuate when you speak.

2. Make sure your microphone is connected and working correctly by heading back to Sound Settings and changing your Input device to the mic of your preference.

If you've followed these steps and are still having trouble, there's another solution worth trying. Go to Discord Settings > Voice > Advanced > Push To Talk Release Delay and adjust the slider between 0 ms and 2000 ms. This will affect how long it takes for Discord to cut off the voice signal once you release the push-to-talk key.

To add a custom keybind for push to talk, follow these steps:

1. Head back to the Voice section of Discord Settings.

2. Click on 'Add a Keybind' and choose 'Push to Talk' from the dropdown menu.

3. Press the key that you want to use for push-to-talk and click 'Record Keybind.'

4. Name your keybind and click 'Stop Recording.'

By following these steps, you should be able to get your Discord push-to-talk button working again. If you're still having trouble, don't hesitate to reach out to the Discord community or seek help from a technical expert.

Remember, push-to-talk is a useful feature that allows you to cut off the voice signal completely as long as the key is not pressed. It's also helpful if you're using an internal speaker/microphone combo on your desktop or laptop. With this feature, you can enjoy gaming and communication without background noise and echos disrupting your experience.
