Recent update to Teams causes beeping in headset when on mute

Anonymous

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!

    Hi! Was having the same issue and today I checked and there was a firmware update available for my Sennheiser through the iPhone app that says in the description that solves the issue. I will check if the issue is solved by this update but I have high hopes, check for your headphones support for updates.

    I had the same symptoms as OP under same circumstances. This did not occur in other apps to my recollection.

    My (Jabra) headset has not had any update since the issue began but today during a teams meeting there were no beeps on mute. (Thanks!!).

    AFAIK I have not done anything differently. Hoping you all have been relieved of the beeping as well.
