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!

    And now my OVERLY helpful desktop support updated me to version 1.5.00.17656 (64-bit), and the beeping is back.

    I have this same issue. My workaround is that in Teams I set the microphone to the built in laptop microphone. Seems to work for the larger calls that I'm mostly listen-only.

    Its a bit frustrating that this is still ongoing. I bought a new headset after my old one broke and thought it was an issue with the new headset. Multiple people in this thread and other people I know have stated how it is Teams, not the headset.

    Can we please have a fix for this Microsoft, even just an option to turn it off or keep it on?

    This noise is incredibly annoying when in a long group meeting.

    I was excited to try this but unfortunately it doesn't work for me with an Aeropex headset. The eternal beeping persists. Extremely annoying bug.
