I've asked on the minecraft forums without a response so I'm trying here in case that it might be a SuSE configuration issue.

I do not have sound in the game. This has been a problem for several versions nowCurently running 1.7.5. I've also tried the last 2 snapshots.

I can play music fine and was able to play the sound files in .mineraft/assets/objects/* via Amarok.

I have deleted the assets folder and had re-downloaded everything.

I looked in the bug list and I found a few sound related issues, but they suggested that there was some sounds.

The log only mentions minecraft:mob.witch.idle, but there are no sounds at all in game, but in options everything is set to 100%.

I tried to force an older version in profile editor but still no sound going back to 1.4.2.

I see a java Playback Stream in the mixer and volume is 100% there too.

Any ideas?
