So I hear constant static noise in the background because the game keeps the microphone enabled. It doesn't matter if I enable push to talk in the key configurations, the static remains. I see no microphone options in the audio options. Can I disable it permanently? I don't use it and if I did I'd probably use Discord or something else.
Microphone is always on.

If you don't have a mic, how are you hearing the static?
I don't get the static... just the icon, which i find a bit strange because I don't have a mic.
To be perfecty honest, I don't have an icon. Maybe because I use a headset? Maybe I can disable a driver, but that will cause issues for other software I use.
Oh I think I accidentally figured it out. Your comment made me look in the options menu for my sennheiser headset and I saw I had side-tone enabled. I normally use that because the ear pads are quite soundproof and I need a little bit of feedback of my own voice to prevent me from talking too loudly. Disabling side-tone seems to have fixed the static.
Completely disabling the mic for ED would have been best, but I can make do with this. Leaving the solution here in case it helps anyone else.
