All my minecraft sounds mute even if they are turned up

All my minecraft sounds mute even if they are turned up

*What I expected to happen was I could hear things

*What actually happened was everything was mute

Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to minecraft 1.8.9
2. turn minecraft sounds off
3. go to minecraft 1.9 pre 1,2 or 3
4. turn the sounds up and you wont hear anything

Sidenote the sounds do work in minecraft 1.8
