What software are you trying to talk to?

There's only one ATC-related PTT support provided in FSUIPC -- the one actually called PTT. The other is for "PVT" the private talk line.for SB3/4.

There isof course a pair of controls for each -- one for on the other for off. With a PTT button you program the "press" to turn it on and the "release" to turn it off. If the mike appears to be held open you've not done the latter. The idea is that you hold the button down whilst speaking and release it when you are done. That's why it is called "Push To Talk" (or "Press To Talk" if you like).
