SoundPad Doesn't work In Helldivers 2

Soundpad works for every game on my PC, except for Helldivers 2. I can hit my push to talk key in game and my mic is picked up, but for whatever reason the hotkey isn't getting through in-game to use my soundboard in Helldivers 2. Any advice would be appreciated.

I've already set my default communication device in Windows settings and I've also checked the Voice Chat Settings in Steam to show my default device is the one which Soundpad is using.

I have gotten it to work with HD2. All I had to do was pick the microphone Soundpad latched onto in system settings, and set it ad default as well. On another note I'd recommend not hooking Soundpad to your primary microphone as there's a bug where it bricks the driver associated with that microphone to where you cannot talk anymore.

Yeah, I already have Nvidia Broadcast selected as default microphone input device. If I press and hold the push to talk button in Helldivers2 then hit my soundpad button, the sound goes through. The issue is that the push to play sound key isn't getting through to the game. I've set the key in Soundpad to play sound the same as the push to talk key in my games. Normally, all I need to do is push the button to play sound and it'll activate the mic in game, but in Helldivers2 (The only game this doesn't work), the microphone isn't activated.

Its working for me, I am using it in combination with voice attack, which can send the keypresses to a specific application, so I tell it to send the key presses to Soundpad, and then soundpad receives them and plays the sound.

I'm experiencing this same issue. The only thing I can do that works now is to have my vc set to open mic/push to mute. I hope that this is an issue that can be fixed.
