Dualsense mute

[LegendarySith]

Is it possible to use controller's mute button while on steam and/or playing new world?

I understand that ctrl shift m mutes discord but it doesnt take affect on NW only when I have overlay open.

Currently using push to talk but would like to be able to have open mic and touch on command the mute button on controller

Any help?

NO but you can install joy to con and set mute button as CTRL SHIFT or set in in game is the games allow you to change button layout

Are you wanting to mute the mic within NW (I don't know if it has voice chat) or Discord or both?
This just covers Discord:

1. In Discord, set a keybind for mute to a function key e.g. F8
I found I could use it without needing Discord in focus (found the same if incorporating Windows key).

2. In Steam, map F8 to the Mute button in NW's controller layout.
(Doing things this way ends up with Steam translating the DS5 inputs though, meaning you'll likely see Xbox icons in-game.)

- Have the DS5 connected, right-click NW in your Steam Library > Manage > Controller layout > Enable Steam Input (if not enabled) > Edit Layout
- Look/scroll down in right side and you'll find the Mute button.
- For the Mute button: Add Command (might see something else if its already mapped) > Keyboard > F8
- Then you can back out and close the controller layout configurator and start the game.

See how that works out for you.


With just Steam there are other ways of going about part 2 but best path to take depends on stuff, like, are you connecting over BT or USB, do you specifically want the Mute button to do the job or would another be fine (over BT the controller has to be in a certain mode before the Mute button can function, and in that mode the controller's not DirectInput compatible so might find it not working natively in a game you play). Or we could use the Guide Button Chord layout rather than the game's layout and be able to toggle Discord mute as long as Steam's open... but if part 2 as is, was OK, then OK :D
