What happens:
When the 'soothing scene' video is playing in the Minecraft launcher with audio, clicking the "Play" button to launch the game will cause the audio to abruptly end/mute even while it takes time for the game to install or load up.
What I expected:
The soothing scene visuals still continue to play which is what I expected, but I expected the audio to also continue playing with it until the game actually launches.
Steps to reproduce:
Open the Minecraft Launcher to Java Edition
Click the play button in the upper right corner to swap from the image to the 'soothing scene video' (cherry blossom animation for 1.20)
Click the audio button in the lower right to turn on the background music
Click "Play" to launch the game, and note the ended audio while it still takes time for the game to boot.
