Without your team mates hearing you, you can command and ask DRE. Similarly, you can chat with your Discord mates without DRE hears you. Here’s how:

Using Push-To-Talk to speak

This is the easiest setup by having separate Push To Talk (PTT) buttons for DRE and Discord:

1. In DRE, locate Controls from the side menu
2. Click the DRE tab at the top
3. Locate the Push To Talk (Hold) and bind it
4. Likewise in Discord, head to the Settings
5. Locate Voice & Video from the Settings side menu
6. In Input Mode, choose Push To Talk and assign a shortcut below

Now you have two separate buttons for PTT for DRE and Discord.

Using Voice Activated mode

If you want to keep an open mic (a.ka. Voice Activated mode) in DRE or Discord and use a button to talk in the other, it requires slightly more work, but here’s how:

Voice Activated DRE

To always have DRE listening to you, you have to enable `DRE -> Sound -> Input -> Input Mode -> Voice Activated`. With this enabled, to speak in Discord without DRE hearing it, you must set a PTT in Discord, and deafen DRE while speaking in Discord:

1. In DRE, locate Controls from the side menu
2. Click the DRE tab at the top
3. Locate the Push To Mute (Hold)
4. Bind the button or key here in DRE to the same button you use to PTT in Discord
5. This deafens DRE and pauses its Voice Activation momentarily, while you PTT in Discord

Voice Activated Discord

While Discord does not have an option to Push To Deafen as a hold button, you can either use its Toggle Deafen keybind by itself, or extend it and use a third party software to turn a hold button action into two separate toggle pushes for Toggle Deafen. This is outside the scope of this FAQ, but guides may be found online.
