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'm experiencing this problem right now with Aftershokz Opencomm & Bose QC 35 II's.

    This is obnoxious beyond belief and makes calls impossible to manage.

    I cannot express my level of aggrivation at Microsoft for doing this. Beyond words.

    I emailed customer support at ******@Aftershokz.com. They recommended a few fixes that I could not use because my laptop is company owned and controlled and I can't install anything on my own. I told them that and they sent me a "Loop100 Adapter" that seems to be doing the trick.

    I would suggest emailing them. It took a day or two for the back and forth emails, but they shipped it to me quickly.

    Yes, they did the same for me as well. Great customer support from Shockz. Still don't understand why this is a Microsoft 'feature'.

    Same here! Aftershokz sent the Loop100 and problem solved.
