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!
Managing sound and video settings during Teams meetings and calls for optimal communication

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It Works! I can't believe it! The Setting is in Teams.
I have been using this method too. The other day they had to do a wipe of all Office apps on my pc, then reinstall. The version they installed with Office 365 from their image is 1.4.00.22472 64 bit, and for the last couple of days I have had blessed silence. Not sure how long it will last but for now I'm happy.
I tried that, but, sadly, it didn't fix the issue with my Shokz Opencomm device. I know I shouldn't be surprised, but Microsoft is derelict for not rolling back the change that caused this.
I'm currently using workaround #1 but your #2 is even better. It's probably the best we can do atm.
Sound Settings -> Input - Device properties -> Additional device properties -> Advanced tab -> uncheck "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device"
I have ear issues that required surgery 18 months ago, and my Aftershokz have been a GAME CHANGER. I can comfortably wear them for long meetings and can hear everything well.
