Description of bug:  update: HRTF stuck enabled even if it is showing as disabled in the Minecraft menu, thus distorting all sounds. When compared to older versions of the game every sound in the game sounds high pitched and sibilant. It sounds as if all of the subtle low tones in all of the sounds have been removed and it causes the sounds to sound distant and way less rich than in previous versions. This effects every sound in the game, however I have noticed some sounds are much more obvious than others. The most obvious ones to me are chests, eating, and swimming. (I am using windows 11 and java version 17.0.7)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open up minecraft java edition in 1.20.1 and in 1.20.2 simultaneously. in both versions of the game open and close a chest repeatedly (this sound is particularly easy to hear the issue with) You will notice in 1.20.1 the sound is more "Full" and contains more lower notes 1.20.2 sounds distant, high pitched and lacking depth.

Workaround: I figured out a workaround for this issue. It appears that it is related to HRTF. To workaround this bug I created a file named alsoft.ini  which contained "hrtf=false" in the %Appdata% folder. this fixed the issue on my end and proves the bug is related to HRTF. if other players are playing with HRTF enabled that would also explain why they may not notice a difference
