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.

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.
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!

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!
this workaround no longer working for me (and other users on the thread) after the Teams/Microsoft update on 9 Dec. Glad if it works for you.

On my Aftershoks, I pushed all three buttons, power, volume+, and volume -, at the same time for 3 seconds. Aftershock voice command said "mute disabled", but TEAMS remained muted on the app. Beeping stopped after that.
I use airshokz, earphones. I used to hear the beeping. To get rid of the beeping, I joined a TEAMS meeting, then muted myself on the Teams app, triggering the beeping, then I pressed the power and volume buttons on the earphones, simultaneously, for 3 seconds, until the airshocks voice command stated "Mute Off". The beeping went away, and i stayed muted on TEAMs.
Hopefully this helps.
