Hello, so I’m trying to get it setup, but when I press ptt and say a phrase, I get no response. I tried going into the grammar help thing and I tested it and it recognised all my phrases… Not sure what to to tbh 

You must be on a valid frequency, other than automated ones like ATIS, and say a phrase that controller can respond to.

Also, the Power Indicator must be turned Green.  If it's Red, it means P2A is not sensing that the aircraft radio is on.

I am on a valid frequency, saying the right phrases and pwr is green

It sounds like your mid and switch settings are OK since Grmr Help is working and the power indicator is green. Here are some other things you can try checking:

⦁    VALID CALL SIGN: Make sure you are using a valid call sign by changing it to the default Mfg: Beech; Tail Number: N431VB and pressing the Save Button.  You can send me a screenshot of this page and I will let you know if there is a problem with the call sign.
⦁    PTT BUTTON: Use the PTT button on the main screen to eliminate the possibility of it being the Joystick button setup as the issue
⦁    SPEECH OUTPUT HOT KEY: Check to be sure that the Speech Outpot Hot Key is not set on the Speech tab of Config.  If it is, when you press that key, you might be changing the output to one that does not work as you expect and it can seem that ATC is not responding.
⦁    VOLUME SETTINGS: Check the Windows Volume Mixer and be sure Pilot2ATC volume is turned up. (While P2A is running, right click on the speaker icon in the task bar and select Volume Mixer).  Also check the volume of the voices in P2A Config.  On the Communications tab of the Sound dialog, be sure "Do Nothing" is checked for when Windows detects Communications activity.
⦁    HEADSET SOUND SETTINGS: If you are using a headset, Windows may recognize that and put a set of "level" settings on the Levels tab of the Headphone Properties.  To set these, select the Headset in the playback devices Windows Settings and press "Properties". Select the Levels tab.  Be sure all levels are turned up as in this screenshot - notice the Microphone setting here on the Playback device:
⦁    ADVANCED HEADSET / MIC SETTINGS: Be sure the Advanced tab of the Properties window for your default recording device has the sound format set to 2channel, 16 bit, and either 44,100 Hz or 48000 Hz (CD or DVD Quality).
⦁    STERO MIX: Be sure that you have this turned off if it is an option.
⦁    HEADSET AS DEFAULT PLAYBACK AND RECORDING DEVICE: If you have a headset mic set as the default Recording/Audio Input device, be sure and set the Headset as the Default Playback/Audio Output device.  Some users have had their microphone not working because they set their Speakers as the Playback device.  
⦁    NOISE CANCELLING HEADSET: If you have a noise cancelling headset like used in real aircraft to reduce engine noise, these may not work with the Speech Recognition.  Try using a standard PC headset.
⦁    DEFAULT COMMUNICATIONS DEVICE: If using a headset as the default Playback/Recording device, be sure it is not also being used as the Default Communications Device.  This assignment of multiple duties seems to cause a problem.  Likewise, be sure the microphone is not assigned to any other duties besides the default audio input device.
⦁    SOUND DRIVERS AND ADD ON PROGRAMS - Many PCs come with Sound Add On programs from the manufacturer that are run at startup.  Some of these programs may "Capture" the microphone and prevent Pilot2ATC from hearing it.  Also, some addons may have such features.  Check to be sure there are not other sound programs running.  Also be sure that you have the latest Audio Drivers for your Microphone installed
⦁    REMOVE SONIC SUITE Check your PC for a program named Sonic Suite and remove it.  It prevents the Speech Recognition from working.  This is common on new PCs from ASUS and other manufacturers.
⦁    SOUND BAR or Other Sound Hardware AddOns Some users have reported that disconnecting sound hardware equipment like a Sound Bar or external speakers resolved the problem of a Mic not working.
