Beats Studio Headset on the PC - sound on PC stays on simultaneously?

[SuperKyleee]

Hey all,

So I got a beats studio headset (the new one), and I plugged it into my PC via the headset port. It works, but the PC sound stays on. If I lower the PC sound through Volume Mixer it turns the headset sound down too. They're linked and don't work unless they work simultaneously. Is this a known issue or is there a work around to this?

volume turns down everything... go into windows sounds in the ctl panel and set up the windows sounds or disable them.
