Whenever I plugin an iTunes device to my computer the volume of all active applications lowers. What would cause this?

Basically any iDevice I plug into my PC lowers the volume of all active applications to about 10% no matter its previous level. I've tested this with several iDevices and they all act in the same manner. I've reinstalled iTunes and tested this out on a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.

iPhone 4, Windows 7, iPhone 3g/s, iPad, iPod/nano

I actually figured out the fix for this. The issue was how Windows interacts when a communication device is plugged in. If you follow the path Control Panel -> Sound and click on the communications tab (in Windows 7) you can change event "When Windows detects communcations activity: " to not lower any of the sound. I hope this helps! It plagued me for a good few months before I realized it.
