Client> (Silent Mode)Notes:
After initially replacing only launcher, also tried deleting existing .minecraft folder after that to get fully fresh installation -> didn't fix the issue either.
Needless to say this is isolated issue to minecraft only and has nothing to do with any sound levels being zeroed for certain applications or in minecraft client itself. Checked also all the other obvious reasons twice just be sure of it.
What I have not tried is to update lwjgl libraries from http://www.lwjgl.org/ as I believe that it's not my task to find a version what is compatible with the build what is distributed with the minecraft client 🙂
Would be nice to have some sound in minecraft again - please fix the issue. Thank you.

I have found a solution to this problem on the forums but it did not work for me you might want to try it out.

Yea saw that earlier... none of the stuff mentioned in that thread worked for me either. Besides making any modifications to lwjgl-platform-2.9.0-natives-windows.jar file in .minecraft/libraries/org/lgjwl/lgjwl/lgjwl-platform/ makes no sense as launcher seems to overwrite the changes with default stuff every time you start the game.
I went as far as I could and tried even write protecting that file after manual changes, but launcher just went to unhappy mode and refused to start the game after having an update error.
Somehow I have feeling that the guy who "has get it to work" in that above thread is playing with 1.5.x client and managed to get 1.0.8 launcher to run that somehow. Hard to tell without further details though. At least I have only 1.6.1 client remaining in my computer now and it is unplayable as all sound is totally out.

Ok I sorted ugly offline fix for this with additional info. Would be kewl if with this knowledge you minecraft developers could sort out less aggressive update methods or option to choose AL versions so we could like play online again...
1. Download working lwjgl version from http://sourceforge.net/projects/java-game-lib/files/Official%20Releases/
2. Open the pagage with for example winrar and do the same for \.minecraft\libraries\org\lwjgl\lwjgl\lwjgl-platform\2.9.0\lwjgl-platform-2.9.0-natives-windows.jar
3. Replace "OpenAL32.dll" and "OpenAl64.dll" inside lwjgl-platform-2.9.0-natives-windows.jar with the versions you downloaded.
4. Make sure that your internet connection is down or that minecraft is blocked by firewall before trying to start the launcher. Other way it will just override your changes with default versions.
5. Enjoy playing offline but with sounds enabled again.
Tested OpenAL versions in lwjgl pagages:
lwjgl 2.3 Sound muted
lwjgl 2.4 Sound muted
lwjgl 2.4.1 Sound muted
lwjgl 2.4.2 Sound muted
lwjgl 2.5 Sound working
lwjgl 2.6 Sound working
lwjgl 2.7 Sound working
lwjgl 2.7.1 Sound working
lwjgl 2.8.0 Sound muted
lwjgl 2.8.1 Sound muted
lwjgl 2.8.2 Sound muted
lwjgl 2.8.3 Sound muted
lwjgl 2.8.4 Sound muted
lwjgl 2.8.5 Sound muted
lwjgl 2.9.0 Sound muted
lwjgl 2.9.1 Sound muted
Hopefully this takes this issue forward finally.
I also have the same problem
