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!

    The only thing that worked in my office was switching people with this problem to the web version of Teams. If it wasn't for the add-on fob we got from the headset company, we'd still be doing that.

    I have to say I've also recently reinstalled my Windows 10 so could be that another parameter got updated or maybe the faulty patch has not been installed yet. I keep you in touch.

    Looks like the issue is fixed !! On last update of teams I don't have the issue anymore. Here is my version:

    Microsoft Teams Version 1.5.00.21668 (64-bit). Last updated on 9/22/2022.

    I am experiencing this every time I use my Sennheiser HD450BT, nothing to do with being on mute it just keeps beeping at me whilst I am trying to hold conversations.

    Extremely frustrating.
