Loud Beeping when Muted in a MS Teams Call

Anonymous

When using my Aftershokz OpenComm during a call, I hear a loud beeping noise when I mute myself during the call. This beeping only goes away when I unmute. I've contacted Aftershokz, and they've assured me this is due to a recent MS Teams update causing connectivity issues.

I've also read other non-Microsoft forums and realize this is apparently an issue since 2021 with MS Teams and multiple brands of headphones/headsets. However, it only recently started for me today, April 18, 2022.

Is Microsoft doing anything to solve this issue? Is there a solution to this?

It seems to be making many users upset and frustrated. I'm surprised Microsoft hasn't addressed this yet.

    Same issue with my Bluetooth headset as Nelsey_H_ (and many others across other threads..... two beeps while muted all of a sudden.

    I have tried multiple recommendations from multiple threads on this issue... installed latest MS Updates, tried muting from multiple buttons/options, and many other things. I have reported through the Teams App as Shyamal recommended. Can Microsoft please provide a solution to this ?

    Thank you very much.

    This happens for me on the Bluetooth Aftershokz headset as well. Not only is it extremely annoying but also very LOUD beeping!

    I know of multiple people with this same issue.

    When will we get a proper fix for this?

    I think I solved this. On the answer button press one short press, then hold the same button a bit longer, after the release it should say "mute off". Teams are still muted but the "buy a microsft headset"-beep is gone. Thank god!

    Sad thing is you only have this strange hack one time per teams call. Restarting the headset and pretend you understood (even thou u missed halfed the sentence) might give another mute chance

    Hello Shyamal,

    Yes -- this issue is happening on Teams web client and desktop client. When I try to report the problem on the Teams app, I don't have the option to "Report a problem". I can only "Give feedback" or "Suggest a feature".

    I worked with the Aftershockz team to have a workaround. However, as you can see by the multiple comments to my post, this is still an issue with Microsoft Teams.
