If I may doubt your users for a second: There are different categories of sound (I don’t recall what they were called precisely), which control whether a sound should be muted by the mute switch or not. Have you checked whether you’re possibly using the wrong sound category? The users you asked may have only thought that since YouTube plays sound, it isn’t muted.
In general, the “mute” switch is actually a “ringer” switch. That is, it’s supposed to *only* suppress notification sounds and ring tones, not e.g. movie audio. Could that perhaps be your issue? I think the APIs that let you set this category of sound are called “audio session” or so?
