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!

    Anyone reading this I have an EPOS Sennheiser Adapt 560 which is an MS certified headset. I have the same issue so I can guarantee you this is a Microsoft problem. I know this is just a community forum but it is annoying to keep reading about how its because the headset is not approved. That is not the case, this is a Microsoft problem and its extremely annoying. Paying that much for a headset that is supposed to be compatible and then having MS ruin your whole experience with a bad update is aggravating. I have to be on a headset for confidentiality purposes so by the time my day is done I can still hear the 2 second beep in my head all night. I really hope they fix this soon.

    The situation is really strange.....sometimes i have this beeping after every call and i have to shut off my headset and start again. But sometimes, the beeping didn´t comes up for some time....and if think "now they have solved", the issue is back. Maybe i do from time to time something different in ending up a call/meeting so that this issue doesn´t comes up, but i cannot verify how.....

    Same issue started for me today after 2 years of pandemic use. I'm using a Soul BT Headset with the MS teams application and while muted I get the periodic beep. To top it off the "Mute On", "Mute Off" notification in the headset is quite loud each time toggle the mic setting in Teams.

    I can find no option to revert this function in Teams.

    Same here. Using Shokz OpenComms. I have never had any issue like this. Zoom works fine, it's just Teams, and just updated to 1.5.00.10286
