Loud Beeping when Muted in a MS Teams Call

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.

    While I havent read all 20 pages of this thread hence perhaps this solution is already in the thread?

    I have been dealing with this issue on some AfterShokz headphones for six months, it's extremely annoying.

    I just came across a Reddit thread that includes a solution that actually worked!

    ·8 mo. ago Gold I'd been having the problem with my Shokz and today found a location. If I put Teams on mute it starts beeping, so I unmute the headphones by holding the + and - buttons for 2 seconds. I get the "mute off" but Teams stayed muted and there was no beeping.

    This solution worked for me, hallelujah!

    Has anyone noticed a change? I was able to hold down both buttons to release the mute but as of this week, holding down both buttons do not do anything.

    The beeping is really aggravating, as I have headaches by the end of the day.

    I can confirm this beeping happens on the desktop client, not the web client. Super frustrating.

    This thread is being watched by (my guess) hundreds of people. So every reply is sent to all of us.

    Every workaround has already been discussed if you just take the time to read the 20+ pages. So please don't reply unless you have something new to add to the discussion.

    FAT client will be the software installed on your computer versus using something like the web client of Teams (office.com).
