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!

    Looks like the issue is fixed !! On last update of teams I don't have the issue anymore. Here is my version:

    Microsoft Teams Version 1.5.00.21668 (64-bit). Last updated on 9/22/2022.

    With My Sennheiser HD-450BT the issue is still present. No work around. Have the same version of Teams as @Fla-06.

    The issue is only present on Windows. Linux version of teams (in flatpak) does not exhibit this problem.

    My latest findings is that these beeps sounds are generated by headphones themselves. Going to chase Sennheiser support for resolution.

    I have to say I've also recently reinstalled my Windows 10 so could be that another parameter got updated or maybe the faulty patch has not been installed yet. I keep you in touch.

    I can't imagine a universe where a user would want a permanent loud beep while being on mute... it's completely ridiculous...
