Recent update to Teams causes beeping in headset when on mute

Been using Teams since the start of lockdown with a headset. As of today I am getting a double-beep at about five second intervals (like a hold beep) in the headset when I am muted. This has not happened before and been using same headset for months.

Also note that when I mute / unmute in Teams, the headset now announces "mute on" and "mute off" to me.

This feels like a Teams update has created this "feature" - please turn it off!

    I tried this before a staff meeting this morning, and I didn't have anymore mute reminder beeping. I'm thrilled. This is so much simpler than all the other work arounds.

    The only way that you are going to fix the Aftershockz /Trex headphones beeping in teams is to buy the Dongle from Aftershockz /Trex. Microsoft does not give a **** about what is happening with the beeping.

    I had a burst of hope when I saw your reply Jack, but this is a Sennheiser f/w upgrade, right ?
