No audio from front center channel in 5.1 setups

Previous versions of minecraft before 1.14.x had sound coming from the front center channel speaker in a 5.1 speaker configuration.

In Minecraft version 1.14.x no sounds are emitted from the front center channel at all.

I suspect that the problem is related to lwjgl-openal-3.2.X. since Minecraft 1.13.2 used lwjgl-openal-3.1.6 and this problem did not exist
