...so would it be possible to make launcher NOT to forcefully update \.minecraft\libraries\org\lwjgl\lwjgl\lwjgl-platform\2.9.0\lwjgl-platform-2.9.0-natives-windows.jar if manual changes have been made
...or to give us check box to use OpenAL32.dll + OpenAL64.dll from lwjgl 2.7.1 pagage by default?
More info about offline fix and such -> MCL-815
Anyways adding the relevant information about OpenAL32/64.dll's from lwjgl versions what I tested out.
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
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.
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.
Well thank you 🙂
Wasn't the most convenient way, but as you said -> solved the problem.
Sound works (with 2.7.1 openAL dll's) and can go online again.
Good work and thanks for the detailed info.
