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!

    Only using the browser version of Teams is working for me to avoid the issue, annoying but something. Hope a fix is coming soon.

    Same issue occurred recently to my headset Sennheiser HD 450 BT.

    Why does it keep beeping when on mute? Is it just prompting you to buy MS certified headsets??

    This is indeed a very annoying problem and making users upset against Teams.

    Please fix this issue asap.

    I was wondering the same thing (annoying beep for non-certified headsets).

    I started having this issue this morning during a meeting, I simply turned it off and on again and that got rid of the double beep. At least during the call, I'll have to wait until the next one to see if the issue comes back.
