I've noticed it too.  The mute just makes it very very quiet, it doesn't
mute it.  The only time I can say it "mutes" is if Master Volume is set at
~70%.  Then when I use Myth to control PCM audio, it will mute correctly.
If the Master Volume Control is at 100% though, mute just is a "quiet"
button..
