Hello! I have been having a problem with my Minecraft on linux. I had 32 bit, and it worked fine. But then I reinstalled and switched to 64bit. At first, when I launched Minecraft, it would just be a black screen. I did some research and was told to manually update my LWJGL libraries. I did this, and it fixed the crash issue and worked perfectly. But now, suddenly, I don't have any sound. I have tried reinstalling Minecraft and the LWJGL libraries and it still did not fix the problem. I also tried downgrading my LWJGL Libraries to 2.7.1 (currently using 2.8.4) but still no sound. I am currently using the webupd8team repository for Java 7 64 bit. My Minecraft log doesn't give any errors, but here it is for people to look over.
This is my log for launching the game, going to the main menu, and then closing it.

Alright so I got on my brothers Linux computer, (Also Ubuntu, but it's 12.10 AMD64) and his worked fine. So I am going to reinstall and upgrade to 12.10, and then I'll let you guys know if it fixes it.
Hey, first of all, good job for using Linux. More people should be using that OS.
Minecraft uses OpenAL, which is an audio library included in LWJGL. I happen to be running Ubuntu right now, but Minecraft sound works fine, and the coding I do with LWJGL yields no errors related to OpenAL.
The only thing I would think that wouldn't be right in your computer is your sound card drivers. Every Linux distribution I've tried has always had generic sound card drivers that work great, but you can probably use the Additional Drivers tool in Ubuntu to search for sound card drivers. I've only used this tool to update graphics drivers, and I don't think it will even suggest a sound card driver as most of them are generic, but it's worth a shot.
i've been getting the same problem on ubuntu 12.04 im using pulseaudio, im not sure whats wrong but i found this in the dev console
