Loud audio when launching game

Hello, I've been having the issue with bedrock over the past few weeks where when I launch Minecraft for windows my audio becomes very loud and distorted.

This issue affects the entire sound system and if I have Spotify playing or a YouTube video running, they are also increased in volume.

For my sound setup I have an optical cord connected to a sound bar, but this also affects my headphones when connected.

Things to note:

• Can be fixed ~50% of the time by minimizing Minecraft and reopening it.
• If I join a world with the audio loudness, it stays persistent even after minimizing.
• I looked online, and few sources mentioned "audio enhancements" which is disabled for my optical output
• Game volume is set to 45%
• This audio bug is only with bedrock version and only with Minecraft. All other applications work at intended
