How to get Discord PTT working in AC?

[stigs2cousin]

Hy guys,

I have the interesting problem that Discord PTT does not work for me when I´m on the raceserver.
Both AC/CM and Discord are running as Administrator, off the server PTT works fine.

Does anyone have a hint/solution for this problem?

Thanks Carsten

I never has this problem and don't know anyone who had this.
My "PC guy" thought would be that AC or CM have the same button mapped to something else?

What button is it and how is the button connected to the pc?

For me it's a button on my mclaren v2 rim, csw 2.5 base and from there into front USB 3.0.

That´s a good idea with the button mapping.
It never occured to me that it could be a problem with double usage.

Will check and report back

Thanks Carsten

Discord should be reading it regardless of any other application mapping it.

In fact discord is a real PITA because you set it to something like button X on a controller like your wheel and find that discord is reading button X from everything. So if you activate button X on another controller discord reacts to it as well.. Annoying lol.

I got sick of holding ptt a lot especially when talking a bit in league sessions and mapped it to mute/unmute and have it as always on talk.

Well, it was not.

I made a new Profile with only PTT, one with a single wheelbutton, one with an input from my Cockpit.

Both didn't work as soon as the race started.
