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!

    It looks like MS Teams now uses the Windows Headset Properties to mute a headset in a call.
    The beeping can be reproduced by muting the headset manually in Windows Headset Properties.

    So my Aftershokz OpenCom just started doing this as well, out of nowhere. Seems to be a whole slew of new posts within the past two weeks. Do not know what you did MS, but please fix it!

    Yeah, agree. That's what makes it so mystifying. There no reason I can think of that anyone would want the stupid thing thing to beep in your ears every minute that you're on mute.

    This is by far one of the worst features I've ever seen in an application. I don't even know what the real world scenario is where anyone would ever want this to happen. Started happening again for me in a recent update.
