I remmember having issues with no sound in beta minecraft versions, i used to fix it by instaling OpenAL libs, i am not sure what happened to that project lately but i could find this source of installer:
Download oalinst.zip archive, extract it and install it.
EDIT:
This part i can't remmember exactly, there should be ./bin or maybe it was ./lib folder where you have your old minecraft placed, and within it there are some files that are supposed to provide OpenAL functions, i cant remmember if you need to delete those ... was quite long time ago, can't remmember all details.

I'll give this a try then, thanks!
Edit: I extracted and installed it, nothing seems to have happened yet ;(
You may need to find those files that come with Minecraft i cant remmember exact location of it should be /bin/lib or /bin/natives folder (make backup of files called something like libopenalXX.YYY) and delete them, so that minecraft uses the ones instaled instead. NOTE: make sure you have backed up those files in case it doesnt solve the issue.
Also there is possibility that you may be missing some files that Minecraft should download on startup, but because they are not available anymore for download it is not complete anymore. Ask your BF to copy libs and files from his MC folder (given that you mentioned it works for him), or at least compare it to make sure you have complete libs that should be there.
I switched over to beta 1.6.6 for a server I'm playing on, and there's no sound whatsoever. It worked on the recent version of mc, but not for beta.
My sound is up all the way in the mixer, and in minecraft. I'm on windows 7
(I have another issue with my skin not updating but I'd rather just have sound right now)

Curse PremiumWhat server uses beta 1.6.6?
Anyway, the sound files were removed from the servers, and your skin is using the old skin server, so you can't change it anymore. Sorry.
I'm just a Minecraft player that likes to give my opinion. Nothing special to see here.
Its a new server my boyfriend made for nostalgia, and there's no sound in single player either. Him and our other friends who play on it have sound.

Curse PremiumReally? Odd. Wish I could help.

I know, its frustrating. Already tried reinstalling and other things
Just wish I could hear mobs and stuff instead of a constant surprise.
Thanks for responding at least.
