TACAN Volume\Audio Muting Issue

Situation:
Tune any TACAN and get morse code audio

Result:
All other audio such as comm's, vLSO, LSO or external audio such as MP3 or internet radio is almost completely muted during the morse code repeat - even if I turn TACAN volume all the way down (at least I hear clicks when I try to manipulate the TACAN Volume knob) - I can barely hear the other audio - environmental and engine noises are unaffected, SimShaker output is unaffected

Expected Result:
I would expect with volume down I would no longer have all other audio muted

Have checked in Dino's T-45C and F-14D as well as RAZBAM A-7 and no similar effect

Thanks

UPDATE - this is NOT an issue with the Phantom

Chased this one down to a changed setting in Windows Sound

Under the Sound Control Panel there is a setting tab called Communications, it was set at reduce 80% when Windows detects communications activity - irt was interpreting the morse code as comm's, and in some external views was including engine noise.
