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.

    Thank you for this work around! Finally that incessant beeping is gone and I am still muted during my team call.

    That did not work for me.

    I am Win10 ... so this may be a fix for Win11.

    I do not have telephony checkbox anywhere.

    I also checked what services were running ... tapisrv is stopped

    As far as I can tell, tapi is not part of this problem.

    This fix did not work for me. Now my headset will not connect at all. Wish I had stayed with the original quick fix that was working :(

    I found one workaround which is similar to using the MS teams in Chrome,

    Connect to the MS teams call from your phone, I did that to test and found that from my S20FE android, MS teams I can join the same call and the beeping is gone.

    Hence this is a issue with MS teams app on Windows 10

    I found this to be helpful if anyone is still having this issue. It seems the automatic gain control affects the auto-mute functionality if the device has it. A volume that is too low will trigger the auto-mute to occur.
