What device do you have? There are two volume controls: 1) System and 2) Ring. If you set Ring to mute or vibrate, you can still hear other sounds, including media player.
I notice that HTC has set the volume settings on my WM6.5 HTC Touch Diamond2 so that both these volume controls are set to be controlled at the same time as if there is only one volume control setting on the device (not how I want volume to be handled). Before I was able to manage the System and Ring volume controls separately, I had to turn that HTC setting off. If you've got an HTC phone, try tapping Start > Settings > Sound > turn OFF the Single Volume option. While on this screen, you can also scroll down and change the Ring Volume and System Volume to suit you.
If your device has a button that you can use to change the volume on the device, thebn you should also notice that two tabs will be available there so you can change the System or Ring volume there too.
