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!

    Looks like this is the fix. Device settings in Teams.

    I have this issue, don't use any Shokz product and found none of the ideas suggested to work. It is totally a Teams induced issue.

    The solution I have found to work for me, when using Teams with my wireless Sennheiser 450BT headset is to simply change the selected microphone in Teams (...More -> Device Settings -> Microphone) to be any available Mic other than the Sennheiser 450BT one; and then mute that Mic as normal (I used the one built in to the PC). No more annoying-Teams-induced beeping when on mute!

    I leave the device settings view on screen so that if I then want to use my headset mic, I simply reselect it, unmute and talk away!

    Two clicks and happy~ish days!

    I have been working remotely and using my AfterShokz Air headset happily since Q1 2019 and I have not had this issue until this week.

    The issue:

    I now hear two annoying beeps repeatedly, when in a Teams meeting and the mic is "Muted".

    Issue does not occur on Zoom or any other "call"...

    All the "fixes" I've read are useless (so far)

    I believe this is a Microsoft issue and and I am amazed by the response of "uncertified so tough luck"... This issue should be addressed by the Microsoft development/support team.

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