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!

    I recently found this reddit post and it works for me on Win10 - still only a workaround but I think it shows the crux of the problem

    And now my OVERLY helpful desktop support updated me to version 1.5.00.17656 (64-bit), and the beeping is back.

    Same problem with Aftershokz does not happen on other tools like zoom or webex etc. but only teams. so i dont think it is a bluetooth issue, it is something Microsoft did on the teams release that causes this problem on the desktop app.

    Until now I don‘t have any problems with teams. It looks like it works now well.
