So my headset is on it's way and supposed to be here by later today (unfortunately wont be able to get in on the BST Time action today.)
I may need help with getting this mic deal working.
No idea how to integrate it into Discord. Do you have to have an overlay on top of the game to use it? I've downloaded the Discord app but am unable to open it in game other than a big overlay which covers the game screen. I'm a discord newbie idiot and have only used the web interface.
Also. Whats this push to talk? How to you push to talk when driving or do you leave your mics open?

Don't need an overlay, just run the discord app and you can alt tab to it if needed when you're in the game. Push to talk is mainly for shooting games like Counter strike and such, in racing games it's best to have it on automatic voice trigger (open). In the discord app you go to settings and audio and set your headset as default mic and output device.

We usually race with open mics but if you need to mute one can just flip the mic thingy upwards and it will cut the sound. You should feel a tiny click as the mute switch gets thrown
Discord - there is a link somewhere in this topic for grid legends i think. Click there to join and then i know how togo further, but someone more qualified should explain. Im not too versed in that as i have a mellenial on call in the house
Edit.... Thrre you go Tim, i even type too slow, thanks Charlie

Loaded Discord on my phone SidSnott#3686 is my name, not sure if the # & numbers are needed. Hopefully I can use the phone speaker and mic, if not I'll try the ps mic & ear piece, looks like it's got the same jack to plug in

So I got my headset and a couple things confuse me. So sue me I'm old and technology sucks lol
So am I correct that I have to in windows set it to my headset and no sound comes out of my surround speakers unless I flip back to my stereo receiver?
Setting up in discord there is a delay from when I speak to when I hear myself. Is that normal. That is disorienting to say the least.

This is what me n charlie use audioswit.ch/er?utm_source=client&utm_medium=direct&utm_campaign=client_1_8_0_142Download and run the program, it will show up as a blue musical note in your task bar right click open preferences , under playback can see your devices, so will be headset and speakers right click and mark as favorites. Go to Settings tab now , and check off the 3 first ones , which are close to tray, start when windows start and start minimized. Then close the program. Right click on the musical note anytime to switch from speakers to headset. This should sort out your delay, unless you have a video web cam then we need to sort out that sound.
