Desktop apps PTT behaviour should be continuous transmission when pressed instead of voice activated when pressed

(#4289) Bug Open: Confirmed Priority: P2 desktop voice

Reproduction steps

Use PTT and speak very quietly, it wont pick up voice unless its loud enough for detection.

Expected behaviour

It should transmit as long as the button is pressed, activating PTT should make your icon green like youre speaking immediately.

Actual behaviour

PTT seems to just allow for voice activated mic while its pressed
