Sounds like a Driver issue. If you have audio drivers/audio manager software installed I would un-install it then reboot. (This will put you back on windows plug N play drivers). Then check for the issue. If you are already on plug N play drivers from windows, I would try installing the official drivers for your audio chipset. Then check for the issue again.

Everything is coming full circle, lol.

Back when I used to play on a laptop, my game would freeze or crash while trying to push-to-talk in GMOD as well. I was stumped for ages, and finally had fixed it by uninstalling the realtek driver that it had come with, and used the default drivers from windows.

Of course, every situation is different. I fixed mine by removing drivers, but you may fix it by updating drivers. As Andy_Man make sure your drivers are completely up to date. You can do this through your device manager.

Press "Windows Key" & "Pause/Break" at the same time, then select device manager from the menu that pops up. In this menu, you can click on a driver and have windows attempt to automatically search for an update. Double clicking should bring up the properties of each of the devices, and under the Driver tab, you will find all that you want to know.
