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!

    This was happening with Aftershokz after a Teams update in fall of 2021 and was eventually resolved, but the issue is back again as of the end of April 2022. When looking at my version, it was updated to 1.5.00.9163 on 4/20/2022. Unfortunately, I have no control over updates as I'm using a company laptop so I can't rollback to prior version.

    Workaround that I had in 2021 doesn't seem to be working now...

    Just as an additional data point, this issue does not occur with my OpenComms in Zoom. Only Teams.

    I have the same issue and fortunately have a Jabra Link. Your method worked well. Thanks a lot! - Update: The Jabra Link works only well with Jabra products. My Aftershokz only worked well one time and didn't in the second place. So, this can not be a solution.
