Only shortly after posting this, I was able to find what seems to be the cause of it and a workaround. I noticed libopenal.so.1 was last modified on November 19th at 18:54, more recently than most other files which were last updated on March 11th 2022. I renamed it so it would not be read and moved my system libopenal.so.1 (version 1.21.1, last updated in January 2022) to the Gear City folder and now the audio is perfect.
