If you are running a Windows 7 x64 bit or Windows 8 x64 bit, you likely installed the Java x64. You can confirm this by opening the Java Control panel, found in 'Control Panel | Programs'. If Java is installed in 'C:\Program Files' - the PC has Java-x64 installed. If Java is installed in 'C:\Program Files (x86)' - has Java 32 bit x86 installed.
This fixed the Minecraft sound not working for worked for me. Uninstall Java-64 bit, reboot, and Install Java-32 bit. This fixed the missing Minecraft v.1.4.7 sound on my Win-7x64 machine, and some erratic gameplay on my son's Win-8x64 machine.
As of today, the Java 32-bit x86 install file is jre-7u15-windows-i586. Download and install this yourself this from Java.com, rather than run the site's automatic detect and install option.
