Question / Help Using Push To Talk Whilst In-game

Wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem and if anyone knows a fix or alternative route.
I use OBS for streaming and recording games. A lot of the time I will be on Teamspeak alongside but this is likely irrelevant as I have tried the same without teamspeak.
My push to talk key is set as Caps lock and Mouse button 4 in OBS. It works perfectly fine and as expected when I am recording, say, the desktop. Once I load into a game the push-to-talk keys no longer register on OBS. I will have OBS up on my second monitor to observe it, pressing my push-to-talk keys does not activate my mic. As soon as I quit the game the push-to-talk keys are working again.
I cannot stream/record without Push-to-talk as there is to much background noise.

Any ideas?

A common issue. This is solved by running OBS as admin. Not a bug, it's more a security issue with windows to prevent things like keyloggers, so running as admin is the only fix.
