The mic being on icon stays for like 2 seconds after you're done talking.

I use push to talk in SteamVR advanced settings, and ever since the new patch for some reason when I use push to talk and finish speaking, the mic icon is still lit up like a second or two after I'm finished speaking. I tested to see if it was still recording my voice after I let go of my push to talk button, and even though the mic icon was still lit up 2 seconds after I let go of the push to talk button, my visemes weren't activating when I let go of my push to talk key. So it just seems to be a visual UI error? Either way this wasn't happening before. I can record a video of what I'm talking about if needed, although hopefully others are experiencing this same issue and it's not just me ;_;

Just a reminder that https://vrchat.canny.io/bug-reports/p/the-mic-being-on-icon-stays-for-like-2-seconds-after-youre-done-talking is still an issue. It was marked as planned, but didn't get fixed in the huge audio update. Not really a big deal since it still cuts out your mic exactly when you're done talking and it appearing to stay on is just the icon's fault, which is the bug, but would be nice if it was fixed.

This is still an issue in the latest open beta too (build 777).

I have to get used to this. It makes me think I have extra background noise keeping my microphone open, and I'm paranoid I'm being rude as a result. 😅

I noticed the same thing with my Oculus Rift mic. The behavior is the same as you described. I believe they wanted to try and fix the mouth being stuck open after you're done talking with this but that still persists for me.

ExDe707: This seems like a good theory

ExDe707: I initially thought they did it for that reason as well, but nothing has changed with the mouth staying open after talking, happens the same amount that it did before this patch.

ExDe707: Same as others, mouth being stuck open is still a major problem for me and the mic icon staying on for around two seconds more after talking is really confusing. This behavior started with like two or three patch versions ago(?) and it was REALLY confusing at the beginning as I thought I was actually transmitting background noise for around two seconds after done talking.
