The sound in Minecraft is not working at all. I've checked that the Mac OS sound works in other apps (i.e., YouTube), and that the sound is on in the Minecraft Music & Sounds options control panel. Sounds simply do not work.
I tried a fresh install of Minecraft, and I also reinstalled Java 8 (although I don't think Minecraft even uses this on Mac). I also tried the "Fn3 + T" option to reload the resource packs. I also tried to use a 3rd party resource pack with sounds. No of this worked.

I just tried adding some resource packs to see if that would break the logjam. I installed/selected the BDcraft Sounds Pack 1.1 - still no sounds - and I installed/selected TARDIS Model and SFX v1.10 and again no sounds, and also no texture changes!

Here's the Game Output (definitely a problem with the sound: "Could not open ALC device"):

I just wanted to close the loop. I was finally able to correct this problem by reinstalling the Mac OS on my system, and then reinstalling Minecraft. Sounds are working fine, now. Thanks for your help!
Does MC-100707 describe your issue ?
Please attach the complete output of the "Game Output (Your Minecraft name) " which can be found on the fourth tab of the launcher to this ticket.
If the launcher closes after game start, please edit your profile and select "Launcher visibility" then, "Keep the launcher open".
