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!

    So my Aftershokz OpenCom just started doing this as well, out of nowhere. Seems to be a whole slew of new posts within the past two weeks. Do not know what you did MS, but please fix it!

    Well, on the plus side, they implemented this feature that allows you to save 20 keystrokes in a day with an auto response you can pick. Never mind the fact that you can't think straight about what to choose with beeping noises blaring in your ear.

    After trying SOOO many headsets and finally discovering Aeropex, only to be crushed by a Teams update...sigh.

    My workaround is to use an alternate microphone, while keeping Aeropex for the speaker setting. I'm getting voice quality complaints again, but at least I can hear :-/

    I tried using the ASUS USB-BT500 dongle but the beeps persisted.

    Looks like there's a feedback item someone has started on the official feedback portal. Please upvote it: "On mute Beep in headset" - Settings to control Headphone audio beep while on MUTE. · Community (microsoft.com).
