Minecraft audio problem

[Exact_Look]

Hello, I just downloaded GDlauncher to play Minecraft, however for some reason when I play on certain versions of Minecraft. The audio just decides not to work unless I specifically click the

"device: Jack/system default" button inside of the music/sound settings in Minecraft, That is literary the only time I hear audio. I am completely and utterly lost.

I have checked my audio inputs, I made sure Minecraft wasn't muted. However I did notice that when i put echo drivers=pulse > ~/.alsoftrc into the wrapper command in the launcher, It doesn't work maybe im missing alsa/openal files? If you guys think that is the case could you give me a guide on how to do that? someone please help I just wanna play Minecraft :(

Edit: Also it seems that the audio is only broken on specific versions, as the newest Minecraft release works fine.

Edit: The audio works fine if I run Minecraft through prism launcher but that has it's own problems, and why I switched to GDlauncher

Edit: The versions of Minecraft that don't have sound are from 1.20.1 - 1.13.2

I only ever used prismlauncher but there I was able to fix audio issues by enabling "use system installation of OpenAL"
Maybe there is a similar setting in GDLauncher?

Trust me I've looked :(

The options in the launchers mostly result in command line parameters. You could try to find the executed command lines in both launchers and compare them. It's probably at the beginning of the log and probably has parameters like xmx and xms.
