Aftershokz headset alerting me that my Teams call is muted

I have the same question posed in this previous thread, but the solution hasn't worked for me. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msteams/forum/all/double-beep-when-muted-on-teams-aftershokz/d67018d1-7081-4acf-b688-bf947a524058?page=1

In short, no matter how I try to mute my mic, the headset tells me mute is on and double-beeps every few seconds. It happens if I mute the call, mute in call settings, or even if I simply mute in my laptop's sound settings.

Teams does NOT alert me that I'm muted if I use a different headset or no headset -- only using the Aftershokz headset. This is an Aftershokz problem, not a Teams problem, but Aftershokz tech support has been unhelpful. I'm hoping someone here has a workaround.

This problem cropped up last fall, went away, and now is back.

    So if you still have this issue this is what I did. When you mute your Aftershokz headset on teams and start to hear the beeping. Press and hold the volume + and - down together for 2 seconds. This will unmute your headset but not unmute from teams

    This solution works perfectly and was likely a default setting changed by windows. When I started using my Aftershokz headphones, they worked fine until 'an update'. One simple button clik by following the above poster instructions.

    when in MS teams call and you wnat to go in mute-->you have to go to the MS teams Device settings and change the same to the default system microphone

    Example my laptop has realtek microphone when you are going into mute change the microphone from OpenMove to the default Laptop one and mute your self.

    When you want to talk then just unmute and talk via system microphone or chage the microphone to OpenMove.

    Please share how you disabled the same in Teams, if possible share a screenshot that would be helpful.
