Subtitles not showing without a sound device

So in both versions of the pre-release, I didn't have any subtitles despite them being on. I usually plug my earbuds into my tablet while playing and rely on the subtitles for sound in Minecraft. I have a tower(desktop) computer, so it has no built-in speakers.
I tested a lot of things but found that plugging in my earbuds and rebooting Minecraft let the subtitles show up again.. This wasn't a problem in previous versions.
It'd be great to have a fix for this, subtitles are really helpful!

I've been having this same problem. My computer doesn't have sound and I can't just plug headphones in to get it to work, so I've been playing very dangerously and hoping I don't blow up since the subtitles stopped working. 
It works in all that I'v played before 1.14 and beyond.

Same problem, accidentally made a duplicate issue (159028). This problem doesn't resolve until I restart the game, so it's really not very good.

This is still happening, tested on 20w20a.
