I am having a problem with my sound on my Minecraft 1.4.2 Client. My Sound was fine up until I updated to 1.4. I have a video to show my problem here --->
Please Help.

Do you have skype? I can show you that something is wrong

I did what you said and it still doesnt work like it should

They Come back like they do in the video.

I cannot run this because this is a .bat file and I am on a Mac so might my OS be the problem?

No luck. I even found a tutorial for it yet it still does the scratchy sounds.

My sound has direction problems depending where i face

I'm having a problem too actually, I'm using Windows 7 and I appear to be missing some sound files, can anyone help?

Oh never mind, turns out it works after all, forget what I said! Sorry to those of you who are experiencing technical difficulties, I wish thee luck in sorting all this out!

If you reset the sound system everything should be fine, however no new versions of the sounds will be downloaded, only pre-existing sounds, which incidentally mean that all custom sounds will be included.

Anyway, to manually reset the sound system , press shift + F5, almost immediately your audio will begin to play again, if not, then redownload minecraft. If its not playing after a reset your sound files are missing, corrupt or there is something interfiering with java.

Try replacing the file CodecJOrbis.class with the same file from the 1.3.2 jar. It's located in your minecraft.jar file, at paulscode/sounds/codecs. I had that problem, and by replacing that file, it worked! A prerelease before 12w38b should work as the old jar as well. You should rename the jars as zips, decompress, then copy the file from the old jar to the new jar in to same directory, replacing the newer one. Rename it back to a jar, don't recompress. For some reason, the codec does not work well with the system. Perhaps it is because of the structure of the PPC processor, and the way it reads data. I too have a Mac PPC G4, with 10.4.11. Has anyone submitted a bug report?

As for other solutions, updating LWJGL doesn't work. 2.8.4 crashes me, 2.7.1 doesn't fix it. The resources play fine manually. I haven't tried plug-in speakers or headphones, but I doubt it will work either. In the game, you have barely hear some resemblance to the sounds. The codec fails to convert the data into a useable, recognizable form for the system. I feel that this only occurs on PPC Macs, all the other ones are probably irrelevant.

i also had a problem with sound but not the same as the op. i fixed by holding f3 and pressing s

No, that's not it. It comes out as white noise, like he said. It's mostly a hardware issue.
