please add sensitivity threshold for voice activated comms

I can't find any way to stop steam deck from echoing because there's no slider in game for voice sensitivity... :/

Wear a headset or go to your Steam Deck settings, audio, and decrease your output volume so the microphone doesn't pick up the audio coming out of the Deck.

That doesn't work and only serves to make the audio imperceptibly quiet. Making the voice that the steam deck picks up louder or quieter is not a solution to this problem.

The game needs a sensitivity threshold, just like every other game with voice chat ever; because sensitivity thresholds are a useful thing that people put into games for a reason.

You could, also use push to talk.

Yes, I am aware there are many less than ideal workarounds that approximate a solution to this issue while also making the game less enjoyable for all involved. I could list a dozen more! Wouldn't that be fun.

None of that precludes the fact that this is a basic feature that is present in many games for a very good reason; and it would benefit many people.
