Sound gets extremely quiet when not facing the source of the sound

I first started noticing this right after I updated to windows 11, and I believe it only occurs on windows 11. When I look away from the source of the sound being played, for example, a jukebox or a block that has been broken, the sound gets very quiet, as if I'm almost out of range from hearing it, when I'm actually right next to it. When I am farther away from it and look right at it, it gets super loud, though not as loud as it would be if I were standing right Infront of the jukebox. It would probably be more accurately described as loud compared to if I were facing away from it, but really just normal volume. 

I have recently noticed that on certain sound devices, this bug does not occur. If I use my Bluetooth headphones, or my monitor's built in speakers it does not occur, but with the speakers I always use, it does. This also might not be a bug Minecraft can fix, I have noticed other sound issues on other games like Roblox that also only occur on my main speakers and not other sound devices. 

This bug occurs on both Java edition and Bedrock edition. 

 

How to reproduce:  

1. open minecraft on Windows 11. 

2. insert a music disc into a jukebox. 

3. look away from the jukebox. The sound will get much quieter. 

4. look back at the jukebox. The sound will seem loud. 

5. go far away from the music so that you can still hear it but not much, then look back at the jukebox. It will sound as if you are close to it.

Ampolive nither of those describe my issue 

can confirm for 1.13.2

just happened to be playing on it. Background music seems to apply to this bug too somehow. 

Make sure your audio output settings (the speakers you use) are correctly set (if you don't have surround sound, make sure it is not set to that).

Thank you for your report!
