If I launch Minecraft 1.11.2 or Minecraft 1.12 Pre-Release 5 from the a taskbar shortcut, no music or sound plays. However, if I launch the game from the desktop shortcut, everything plays fine.
I've tried this a few times both ways to confirm it's not a one time issue.

Please attach the client log from both cases (run and close the game, then copy %appdata%\.minecraft\logs\latest.log, then attach it here).

Ok, I tried it a few more times and it seems to be a random issue with the sound. I'll attach the log for each case.
Edit: I also uninstalled/re-installed the game, but the sound issue still wasn't resolved. So uninstalled again and deleted the .minecraft folder which brought me to it being an occasional issue.

This is probably MC-9974, then.

Ah, ok, Sounds like it. Thanks for your help! 🙂
