What were you doing when the bug occurred? Step by Step detail is helpful. My mic is set to push to talk but sometimes it appears to be transmitting in always-on mode. When I make noise the in-game icons indicate that I'm transmitting - I have not been able to verify if it's actually transmitting or if it's just the icons displaying. This makes it hard to have confidence in the UI and I don't actually know if people are hearing me. PTT functions correctly about 50% of the time, I can't figure out why. Additionally, I have to manually change the VOIP input/output sources when I switch between VR headset and monitor/headphones. Not a bug, but the lack of an auto-detect feature is surprising.

What do you expect to see? When PTT is enabled, mic should only transmit (and icons should only indicate transmission) when the PTT button is pressed. An auto-detect feature for VOIP input/output source would be helpful and I'm surprised it wasn't included at launch.
