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.

    Respectfully disagree.

    Software shouldn't be telling my input device how to behave.

    I don't want to mute Teams and have my microphone muted for all other applications.

    When I mute Teams I want to mute only Teams.

    If I want to mute my microphone I'll do it myself on the microphone.

    solved it. while muted on Teams, press the volume + and - buttons at the same time. you remain muted but the annoying beeping disappears.

    I've been using Shokz OpenComm and Jabra wireless headsets and Logitech USB headsets for years and this problem has just started for me in the last week. On all headsets.

    The quick fix (so far) seems to be just to join the meeting in the browser (I'm using Edge). No problem and NO BEEPS everything works as expected.

    The best part - no reset of the headsets, no "one-time" cheats. Just put the meeting in a tab and enjoy.

    Looking at you Microsoft, this suggests the issue is in the Desktop app. It's certainly not with the hardware since brand and even connection type doesn't matter.

    Hello,

    same annoying problem with my Shokz OpenRun Pro headphones.

    The BEEP is really loud and prevents me to use these headphones for Teams calls.

    Could you please address the problem ?

    Thanks and regards

    Luca
