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!

    The problem still exists for me. Going on for a couple of months now with zero reply from MS.

    Solution for Sennheiser DW Pro 2 (maybe for others too)

    1. Install EPOS CONNECT
    2. Set "Mute Tone" - OFF

    OR

    1. Install EPOS CONNECT
    2. Update firmware to 181 or newest

    I use Sennheiser HD-450BT for over 2 years. Beeping in headset while I'm muted drives me crazy. With the recent Windows update, the work around with enabling headphone microphone through driver control (Settings -> System -> Sound -> Input, Device properties and test microphone -> Additional device properties -> Levels -> icon at the right of Headset) stopped working. Now when I enable it at the driver level, teams do pick it up and enable microphone state change making me non-muted again.

    Any (new) idea how to fix the problem?

    I am experiencing this every time I use my Sennheiser HD450BT, nothing to do with being on mute it just keeps beeping at me whilst I am trying to hold conversations.

    Extremely frustrating.
