Cannot mute volume before video plays.

I want to show the first frame of the video as start image without playing the video.

I try to do this by muting the volume, call play(), and pause video after 500ms. But often I can hear audio for a second or so before video is paused.
Seems like mute and volume functions do not work.

My code looks like this:


jwplayer("video_jw_@vcf.ID").setup({
file: '@vcf.FullFilename',
bufferlength: 20,
width: 640,
height: 360,
primary: 'html5',
example_option: false,
controlbar: 'bottom',
autostart: false
});

jwplayer("video_jw_@vcf.ID").onReady(function () {
$this = this;
jwplayer("video_jw_@vcf.ID").setVolume(1);
jwplayer("video_jw_@vcf.ID").setMute(true);
jwplayer("video_jw_@vcf.ID").play();
});

jwplayer("video_jw_@vcf.ID").onPlay(function () {
$this = this;

var pauseMe = window.setTimeout(function () { // pause video
$this.pause();
}, 500);
});
