Minecraft Bedrock on Nintendo Switch has almost no sound, even at maximum volume

Every since updating my Switch to 1.16, I can barely hear any music or sound effects on all volume levels, including maximum volume.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled the application without resolution.  The issue persists on realms as well as local worlds.  The volume is so low, even on maximum volume, that I can't hear footsteps on grass or stone blocks, making mobs nearly impossible to hear from the built-in speakers. 

I was able to plug my switch into an external speaker to hear the game audio and would try my bluetooth headphones if the system was compatible.

I've also noticed this it's really quite a quiet game on the switch despite max volume

Have you tried increasing the volume of the game in the settings?
It doesn't go down on its own, but it's worth checking out.
If it doesn't go down ... I'm sorry,I don't know.

Is this still an issue in the latest version? If so, can you add it to the affected versions?
