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!

    100% agreed!! I love my Aftershokz and would not change them for anything. The typical "Aftershokz is not a certified device, therefore it is likely the source of your problem" is such a crock of S**t. It is happening across several different devices, including some of the "Certified" headsets. I feel as if that response is just their way of brushing us off and making it "not their problem".

    Unfortunately, Microsoft does not offer certified headsets like Aftershokz! Some of us who have hearing loss require bone conduction to hear clearly in meetings which is what the Aftershokz brand offers. Furthermore, Microsoft should not require users to purchase headsets that they deem worthy. As a business communication tool, they should be flexible and adapt/accept all headsets. Also, this issue is occurring again, 7 months later, and in a number of different devices. This feature needs to go!!

    I have ear issues that required surgery 18 months ago, and my Aftershokz have been a GAME CHANGER. I can comfortably wear them for long meetings and can hear everything well.
