When you launch games like GTA 5, the DualSense microphone feature is suspended by the application. Changing the Virtual Device setting resolves this issue.
It would be awesome to have a feature that automatically detects this situation and re-enables the microphone, this would be a great solution, especially for people who want to use the DualSense microphone seamlessly on platforms like Discord.
Some games suspending microphone access

What do you mean by suspending microphone access ?
Are your windows microphone device settings changed by those games ?

For example, I am talking to someone on Discord via dualsense, as soon as GTA 5 is opened, my voice starts not coming through Discord. Probably because GTA 5 has dualsense integration, it takes ownership of the microphone from the system.

That's a system level thing tho
Whether it's GTA5E requesting exclusive access to the microphone or not tho, I don't know
But it could be as simple as disabling the allow exclusive access option (or whatever it's named) for the Dualsense microphone

Dang I am not surprised cuz GTA also steals control of other stuff, like if you try to use a keyboard shortcut for push to talk in discord, it just won't work because GTA is stealing the the keyboard inputs
