I was playing for a minute when my sound cut off. I logged out and back in and still no sound. And running is like walking speed.

_zombiehunter 2013-05-23T16:35:21Z

Yep, no sounds after playing some minutes.

megashub 2013-05-23T16:41:33Z

Same here. Voted up this issue.

Matt Kelliher 2013-05-23T16:46:06Z

Mine crashed on minecraft:sound/piano3.ogg so not just a problem on hal2.ogg - voted up.

Matt Kelliher 2013-05-23T17:25:53Z

Played again 20 mins with music option turned off (sounds on) and no crash.

Rob Hess 2013-05-23T18:32:30Z

defiantly being caused by the music, something is rotten in the OggVorbis Library.

Scott Taylor 2013-05-23T20:26:09Z

Same here. Mojang, please fix this!

Rob 2013-05-23T20:32:54Z

Here's the report from my client. The issue occurred with piano3.ogg as well as calm3.ogg for me. It's probably safe to assume that this is caused by all music.The issue is repetitive and is fixed only by re-launching the game. The error can be prevented by turning the game's music volume off. This error does not crash my game, it only stops all sounds. I'll make a new comment if anything new arises.

Matt Kelliher 2013-05-23T22:03:03Z

Added comment: unable to reproduce the lost sound effects when playing a jukebox/music CD; however, I do confirm the same error message occurs. In order to reproduce the complete loss of sound, you have to wait until in-game music plays.

Meghan Francis 2013-05-23T22:14:22Z

I'm also experiencing this bug. Sound just stops entirely after about 5-10 minutes. I have to restart the client to get it back.

I can confirm that this issue is happening on my end also. Just recently upgraded to snapshot 13w21a.

mike 2013-05-23T23:41:11Z

Yes, this does happen. Notice how if this happens it says that:

Client> Error in class 'SourceLWJGL OpenAL'
Client> Audio Format null in method 'play'
Client> Exception in thread "Thread-6" java.lang.NullPointerException

I guess whenever when Minecraft tries to play a backround sound, it cannot "play" due to a "Audio Format null".

mike 2013-05-23T23:47:17Z

In addition notice that it says:

Client> Problem during Library.cleanup()!

It also happens if you try to play a music disk.

John Stewart 2013-05-24T00:47:50Z

I'm also experiencing this issue but only in the Nether on Creative mode. It also appears Ive got the same message from the DevCon:

Sam Rader 2013-05-24T04:35:16Z

same issue with me

Also, I don't know if this has anything to do with the sound issue but every time I use the launcher it says it is going to download 13w21a but it never does.

If I can supply any additional information, please don't hesitate to ask!

Alex 2013-05-24T10:11:54Z

I'm no coder, but it seems MC's sound engine is "losing track" of sounds, until it completely gives up trying to keep track, and dies.

Erik Broes 2013-05-24T12:49:06Z

Fixed 🙂

karstvgl 2013-05-24T13:31:18Z

Also by starting up MC sometimes in all other versions from 1.5.2 and higher doesnt the sound come up. By restarting the game it does. And when does horses get sounds? They are anoying without a bit :/

ZeeTillz 2013-05-24T17:27:08Z

I am still getting this bug on Mac 😞

Clauss 2013-05-24T20:28:25Z

I have this bug as well (MacBook).

Thanks for your good work at Mojang... =)

Salty_Ninja 2013-05-24T21:53:51Z

Its not fixed, it just says "Fixed= Future Version 1.6" Make a 'b' snapshot mojang!

Niels V 2013-05-24T22:32:03Z

Same problem...

matthew 2013-05-24T23:07:54Z

Same happening to me! 😞

Shawn Cheever 2013-05-24T23:13:20Z

I understand that the fix will be in a future version, however I played for nearly 3 hours this morning without any sound issues (13w21a). I did turn "Music" to "Off" during gameplay so that may or may not have affected it; sounds still worked after 3 hours.

Sound did cut out for me also after 3-5 minutes

Dima Maizik 2013-05-25T04:57:58Z

it's annoying it cuts out 10sec-10min 😞

Kanegasi 2013-05-25T06:29:25Z

@Shawn Cheever

That is the current workaround. The sound corruption occurs when random music attempts to play. Turn off the music and everything else keeps playing just fine.

mike 2013-05-25T11:08:37Z

Ok guys, the sound "breaks" when music tries to play, weather it is natural, or is a music disk. The only way to avoid the problem is bu turning the music off. the "sound" slider does not need to be turned off, as far as I know. I'd like my inbox to be only filled if someone has more info or if edits need to be made. I don't like sorting through 12 emails in the morning on the stuff we already know. I'd really appreciate it.

ZeeTillz 2013-05-25T19:36:33Z

Can confirm all of this

Henk Langeveld 2013-05-25T22:26:18Z

Workaround:
Copy or link all *.ogg files from the assets/music directory into the assets/sound directory.

The directory contains a warning that it will be cleared during updates. If the next update
fixes the bug, that shouldn't be a problem.

Shawn Cheever 2013-05-26T00:33:26Z

@Henk Langeveld Thanks for that workaround!

Amanda 2013-05-27T21:35:55Z

Confirming this as well. Though my Audio drivers are beyond messed up so I'm not the best source to confirm

Ari Fi 2015-07-31T00:17:23Z

Re open please! In 1.8.8 the jukebox no sounds.

Randy S 2018-06-04T19:07:59Z

Still a problem in 1.13 pre-release. (mac Version) – Once the sound crashes, landing screen gets very laggy.
