1.16.5 Audio Bug

There's this weird bug that mutes the entire game even at 100% on all audio settings. At first I thought it was my headphones so I tested them with spotify. Then I thought the headphones were messing up the audio so I unplugged them. But no it was still silent. I then tested to see if it was my computer by playing an older version. Please fix this, I can't survive creeper ambushes anymore.
