Minecraft Forums

I've looked everywhere for a fix but I cannot find one. There is no sound for specifically Minecraft version 1.8.8 and 1.8.9. I've tried everything, reinstalling, replacing audio files, getting audio files from other peoples games with audio and putting them into my Minecraft, f3 + s and f3 + t, mipmap levels, changing resource packs, restarting pc. I looked into my logs and it said openal library couldn't be located but idk what to do to fix that. I don't have surround sound on my speakers and they're the only ones that are enabled, no recording device is enabled either. Here is a log:

I use lunar client so I can't go to a newer version of the game either. Forge, and optifine for 1.8.9 also don't work.

Maybe this refers to this:

There are some missing files on your system

I know im late but i have found a fix. If nothing you try is working ingame try installing OpenAL its possible that you may have somehow caused it to get deleted from your computer whether it'd be resetting your pc or redownloading windows from a clean slate
