So ive had this issue for a while, and no deleting and re-installing minecraft didnt help.
The directional Sound is broken in multiple ways:
walking sound(especially walking on grass) cuts off and sounds wrong all the time compared to java
its very hard to actually listen to music discs while building or doing anything, because if u dont look DIRECTLY at the jukebox u cant hear it, if u move, the sound gets distorted, if u have ur back turned to it u cant hear it at all. Which is horrible design and makes for really inconvenient playing
a new bug i found is… the normal minecraft background music, which plays without discs, it also gets scuffed/distorted depending which direction you face.
Please fix this its really frustrating and makes the game less enjoyable
I used to be a java player, and i gotta say java sound design is way better, just do it like java please, this directional sound design is horrible

This bug is a real nuisance. I have very sensitive hearing so I have to have the sound low so now I can’t hear many sounds unless they are directly in front of me. I don’t know why that would be - sound isn’t like this in real life. Sounds in front of you are amplified and sounds behind fade out to be almost unheard. See cow clip below.
Trapdoor volume when right next to them varies.
I hope you don’t mind me posting these on your bug report. I thought it was better to have one complete bug report than have duplicates. Just one more clip to go.
How can walking be either noisy or silent?
I have been killed by several silent mobs that get right behind you making no noise - including being knocked into lava and losing all my stuff. This happens on MC Preview as well.
I'm starting to think they will just ignore this until the day it starts annoying a huge amount of players, its been 3 updates since this bug came out 😕
This is so frustrating, another update and they didn't fixed it, it's so annoying to play the game without hearing almost any sounds.
Not sure if this is the same bug or a new bug with the nautilus. In first person there’s almost no sound from the nautilus moving but from the other two views there is clear sound.
If someone from Mojang could confirm that they are aware of this issue, as we’re providing lots of evidence and there hasn’t been a response, that would be very helpful. I’m aware that there are lots of critical bugs at the moment, but this bug is affecting my hearing - many sounds too quiet to hear - some too noisy.
Thank you for your report!

I barely use jukebox because of that, I would need to be constantly facing it to be able to hear the music properly
