All sounds are stuttering/echoing

LeeEel's comment reflects my experience with PS4 1.19.x as well but I'd like to add that when the sound stuttering is bad, so too is gravity. Blocks appear to fall down much more slowly at the same time.

This is happening to me aswell, its so annoying.. I was mining gravel and my gosh its terrible.. same with the ender chest and walking on wooden planks, even the wolves sounds terrible, I was worried my game will crash and so I log out until it gets fixed, it was sort of glitchy too for me. its an old world so of course I don't want anything to happen. This world is even the back up one and its still there.

I am having this issue also. I started having this issue after the most recent update. It seems that for me that it gets really bad whenever I leave to go explore. When I'm at my base it's there but not too bad and I have like 40 villagers there, so I'm not sure if it only happens when there are over 20 mobs in the area but that may deffinentially be one reason. But it may also be whenever you are loading land. (Not sure if its important but I use ps4 slim)

I've been having this issue too. 

Here's a link to my video of it happening.

It also seems to be affecting the redstone tick rate, minecarts are moving very slowly.

I only have 5 horses and the audio still bugs. I hope it will be fixed by next week

Yeah it's so weird, I have over 40 villagers in my base and its barely there but the second i leave and there are like 7 mobs it gets worse.

Fought the wither in the nether on ps4 slim. Audio induced extreme lag. Arrows and sword fighting had  long delays in animation of the actions. Sound went totally wonky. Really not playable.

Yea, Minecraft on PS4 is extremely laggy when fighting the wither. I recommend you kill him in the end

I take this opportunity to ask if you also have lag in your worlds, for example: The chests do not open, the mobs do not move and the blocks disappear or are placed again after being destroyed

I do have lag in mine, with chests they sometimes wouldn't open and when I break blocks they will reappear sometimes. But I haven't had mobs stop moving for me. Also what type of playstation do you all have? (Example: ps4 slim, ps5) I'm wondering if its just one type of playstation.

I have the same issue, sometimes when I'm in the nether it just happens without breaking or placing any blocks. It makes mobs freeze for a moment and adds a delay to breaking blocks. Happens  from time to time in the overworld as well.

One thing that I forgot to mention is every day I ask people I know about the audio bug and more and more people keep saying they have it when before they didn't.

I also noticed that when I play on the new world ,there's no issues but my older world.. its quite weird, Recruit I have ps4 slim

It only happen for the music in the nether for me. Kinda strange

So I use ps4 slim too im wondering if its only ps4 slim, does anyone have the bug that doesn't use ps4 slim?

i use ps4 slim too

Mine is not slim and I have the issue.  Seems to be more than sounds, the entire game appear to stutter when it gets bad.  Often is amplified when there are more entities nearby (mobs, villagers, animals, etc.).

Ok now I'm less worried, for a second there I thought it was just ps4 slims and that if they couldn't fix it I would have to buy a new ps4. Oh and I don't think they fixed it on the new update, I played and its not as bad as it was before for me but its still there it hust happens less and when it does its not as bad. I can actually play the game now.

I reported this issue yesterday (as a BDS, don't shame me, I was new to this whole bug reporting thing) and it's happening often on my base PS4 (the glossy faceplate Launch thingy, I dunno what to call it

The sound is really annoying, to a point it's irritating.

Hope this gets fixed soon.

Yup, can confirm the same bug was introduced on my non slim PS4 digital copy a few weeks ago.

It's infuriating.

I’ve had this issue in 1.17 and 1.18 on Nintendo switch

A bug update came out last night and still the sounds are still a problem, its not as bad it was, it was nice to able to play on my old world. It said it fixes over 60 community reported issues, jeez thats alot

This issue does not occur when playing on a Realm using PS4.

This issue does occur when playing on a downloaded copy of the world from the Realm on PS4.

The same is also occurring in iOS on an iPad mini.

Does the version or edition matter?

My version or edition, is the old 4J Studios version, basically named: PlayStation 4 Edition.

This issue appears to not just be a simple sound issue, but is a major lag issue. I've noticed since the July update in question, the amount of lag in my main world is worse. At first I noticed it as the sound issue, but then running other things like my mob farms, and even my villages is worse. It might even be time to just move my world to my own Bedrock server as the amount of lag, plus the nature of auto save is making this world unplayable.

Yeah, for me it gets worse with the auto save and the auto save is almost always happening.

This problem still continues to persist on the new update of 1.19.20 on ps4

Josys363 comment explains exactly what happened to me yesterday, its so hard to explain in words but you did. It was fine until I played on it again yesterday..

I had an update earlier today (23/8/22), 2.47. Didn't fix it. Still having sound/redstone and even going to sleep lag.
It's not because I've got 20 beehives next to my house is it?

MORE DETAILS (in case they're useful)
Seems to be worse closer to spawn. It gets better about 200 blocks away.
I started this world several big updates ago. Pre Nether Update in fact.
Speaking of which, it doesn't happen in the Nether. (Which I would dearly love to reset, why did they get rid of it?)

Stony, ya the update didn't fix it for me to, its true when I'm away from home area (also not far from spawn) is running somewhat alot better but when near home, gosh the villagers and other things sounds so terrible. 20 bee hives might not be helping but I'm not sure. The Nether is glitchy for me thou, I really miss playing on my old world, its no fun with it glitching like that

Hey, just thought I would let you know that I found out the possible cause of this bug. If you have 20+ mobs near you, say you have a cow pen with a whole lot of cows in it, it will cause the audio bug.

I've had the same issue since updating to 1.19, I'm now on version 1.19.21 and it seems to be getting worse! Not only does most of the audio lag, but my game either lags or crashes entirely when going to the nether or the end. Twice I spawned inside a wall in the nether and had to mine my way out to keep from suffocating and twice I almost died in the end when it spawned me in the middle of blackness after going through a portal! I killed nearly all my cows and if anything it seemed to make it even laggier! I witnessed a spider kill a skeleton as if in slow motion! It makes me nervous and not want to play the game until this issue is resolved, I worked too hard on my survival world just for some stupid bug (that Mojang is very much aware of by the way) to corrupt it! I'm hoping if this ticket gets enough attention and comments that Mojang will finally do something about this infuriating problem and I can go back to playing my game in peace without worrying about getting stuck in a wall or having my game get corrupted. 

@DanDLion94, Mojang addressed the issue in Minecraft Bedrock v1.19.30.23 Preview which is not available for the PlayStation 4. I am trying to figure out how anyone on a PS4 will know if the problem is resolved.  I guess us PS4 players will have to test it when it rolls out in the next full release. I stopped playing because of the audio and lag issues. I am on a 1 Gbps fiber network.  My PS4 Slim is connected via Ethernet at 200 Mbps, so I don't see how slow framerate is the problem? The graphics engine in the PS4 Slim has not changed between v1.18 and v1.19. Why did the audio / lag start with v1.19.10?

I still go on mine every few days, it's my main survival world and I play it with my bro, his gf and my nephews. If it gets fixed I'll come on and let you all know.

Yeah I tested it on one of my other worlds and it doesn't seem to have that same issue only on my main survival world which is really annoying. I don't know if the lag is bad because of my internet and might be unrelated to the audio issues? We'll have to wait and see if Mojang addresses it in their next bug fix for PS4 players. 

I have found the stuttering/ echo sounds happen only near my base. I have multiple farms running all at once plus approximately 70 villagers all in an area about 80 x 180 blocks. The farms include villagers, minecarts, pistons, bees, cows and iron golems. 

That's what I'm starting to notice, it's annoying because it barely started happening with this newest update and I've had my farms/ animals since version 1.18 and don't want to have to get rid of them :/ I guess until Mojang finally fixes this bug I'll have to turn down most of the game sounds besides hostile mobs while near my base. Hopefully then it will stop messing with the eating animation too. 

I had this problem yesterday. I started noticing when I was setting up my villagers and an underground farm. If I had to guess, I assume its because of the amount of mobs that cannot despawn naturally. Either that, or the game struggling to load so many blocks near the player.

Have this bug now for 4 weeks in my main world on PS4 Pro, got much worse after the last update (all sounds effected now, much more echoing, music affected too, eating animation ends without really eating - have to keep button pushed untill health recovers). Basically its unplayable. Waiting for 1.19.30 - any idea when this will be fixed/rolled out?

Unfortunately, Hotfix 1.19.22 did not fix the problem. The sound bothers me so much that I lose interest in this wonderful game. Hope a solution can be found.

So i haven't played minecraft in a month and I just got on to play but I was trying to find out why the audio glitch was happening for me. I just found out that it only happens when my map is out, van some of you see if its the same. I have way over 20 mobs at my base and it never happens but when my maps out it will apparently. What I'm trying  to say is maybe there are different types of the bug.

Recently I spread out some of my farms that had cows and stuff, built dog houses for my dogs and moved some of my farms away from my base and it seemed to eliminate some of the audio issues. 

It’s real hard to ignore it. It’s also appears to be accompanied by motion sickness inducing FPS drops. Please fix. 😩
