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.

    during the teams call. press volume + and volume - at the same time to unmute. need to do this for every call but can fix the "on-hold"/beep sound.

    Hello

    This tip seems to have fixed the issue for me:

    "The fix is to go to Control Panel > Devices and Printers > [Your device] + RMB > Properties > Services > UNTICK "Périphériques contrôlables à distance"

    Sorry it is in french perhaps it is "Remotely Controllable Peripherals" or "Remotely Controllable Device"

    This is the 2nd item in a list of 4

    Regards

    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.

    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 :(

    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.
