Unable to transmit w/ Hot Start TBM 900

Greetings,

After researching PE and Hot Start forums, unable to determine why I'm unable to transmit VHF with the TBM 900; receiving is ok. Transmit with a different aircraft (JF PA28 Arrow) was ok on XP11, so I'm assuming something unique to TBM 900.
Windows 10/64 & PE 1.5.3

Make sure the mic button is lit. Another thing is when i updated my oculus rift drivers it totally messed up my sound settings iin windows control panel. / sound / settings. I had to reselect my headset as default again.
Took me a few minutes to find out why i had no sound.

Thanks, I confirmed all your recommendations. However, I remain puzzled because TBM 900 VHF transmit continues to be inop but operating normally with other aircraft (JF PA28 Arrow) in X-Plane 11. I will post on the Hot Start forum.

Sadly, this is turning out to be a complete show stopper. Any assistance is welcomed.

Might be worth asking on the pilotedge Discord too. There tends to be more interaction there. https://www.pilotedge.net/pages/discord-community

Thanks for that info. Discord says I must "claim my account". When I do that, an error message says the email is already registered. Do you know how to escape this particular circular logic trap?

Disregard the Discord part. My pea brain is just beginning to understand this.

There's no shortage of people flying the TBM900 on PE without issue. I'm not aware of any special configuration for that aircraft with regards to PE. Not especially helpful, I know, but wanted to let you know that something odd must be happening with your setup, it's not a common issue.

Keith, I've spent considerable time trying to understand why this situation persists only with the TBM. I have tried everything I can think of. Others TBM guys have complained on the developer website re connectivity with PE and VATSIM. If you hear of anyone with a similar situation and resolution, will you let me know?

All the best.
