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.

    This way is working, but after opening the mic on MS Team, the sound beep is back again, so I have to hold the + & - every time.

    Initially it is to hold the + & - simultaneously. However, his only addresses it if you are not toggling back and forth with the TEAMS MUTE. Seems a software change in TEAMS side caused the teams mute button to force a headset device mute as well.

    How did you manage to send you a new dongle?

    When contacted them about the same issue and requested a dongle, they refused to send me one and wrote this to me:

    "Actually, this is the setting of the headphone. It is a mute reminder of your headphone. Since it is a factory setting, there is no way to change/turn off it by the end user.

    We will forward your request to engineering. Hope this could be canceled in the future"

    Same for me. Aftershokz headset has been fine until yesterday. I'm also running Teams 1.5.00.28361. Now I get audible notifications of mute on and mute off, which I never had before, and this annoying loud double-beep whilst on mute.

    Please can this be fixed!

    I have found another work around as well. In Teams go to your settings and keep your speakers to your headphones but your mic to your computer. You can mute the computers mic through teams without the beep.
