Hey there! So i fired up 1.19 just a few minutes ago and immediately noticed the audio quality isn't quite what i'm used to hearing from 1.18.2 and prior versions. Please take a listen to the 2 sample videos i've recorded:
1.18.2 sample: https://streamable.com/uz9wgv
1.19 sample: https://streamable.com/15bbo5
As you can hear, the audio in 1.19 sounds almost as if it has been compressed.
I set the 3D directional Audio setting to off in the video but the issue persists when set to on as well. No resource packs or mods were used, it's all default vanilla Minecraft.

Having this same issue and it still is present in 1.19.1 pre-releases as well. Really hoping this actually gets noticed and solved because this really sucks to listen to and makes post-1.18 pretty unpleasant to play (I'll literally go ahead and just mute the audio because in some cases the compressed sounds are genuinely painful)
Seems this issue is persisting into various updates, 1.20.2 is causing this issue as well...
