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.

    I decided toto purchase the Shokz Loop100 Dongle Bluetooth Adaptor as advised by other users that own a Shokz Headset and reported the loud beeping while on MUTE in a MS Teams Meeting (Desktop App). Easily connected my headset to the Bluetooth dongle, this did indeed resolve the loud beeping while muted. I am now also able to control the volume whereas before I was not able to do so using the volume controls on the headset. I will post new issues if any arise.

    Hello!

    My work around for my Shokz headset was the addition (purchase of) a special dongle. It seems to have resolved the teams loud beeping while on mute. But opened up other issues. on other devices. I'm hoping MS teams resolves this soon.

    Bluetooth beeps when muted

    Thank you for your feedback on this issue of devices that beep when muted. The team has added to their backlog an item which would allow you to choose how muting is handled, and this can also prevent beeping while muted. We will share an update as soon as one is available.
