16.5 Randomly from launcher hasn't been providing auditory feedback

Anything below update 1.17, is having complete auditory malfunction.

What I expected to happen was...:
I should be hearing the game audio with all audio on

What actually happened was...:
Zero sound is being played but only on versions prior to 1.17 for my launcher (WesleyTUS is my Java Username)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load any snapshot below 1.17
2. Click around on buttons (should make auditory click)
3. Note that zero sound no matter the volumes, audio won't play
