I've being trying to get Minecraft sounds working lately without success using javaw.exe, but strange enough with the console oupout (java.exe) my sounds are working. Since this is just a workarround and doesn't solve the issue itself, I would like to know if any of you know what could be causing this problem.

I have no sound anywhere including main menu and f3 + s isn't doing anything.

Yes I did try to re-install Java on my machine (when defined Minecraft launcher to use the JRE installed on my machine), I tried to re-install the game and I tried to check if sounds were working using the javasounddemo that I downloaded on Oracle website (it works).

Here is a installation log of minecraft latest version using javaw.exe: <https://pastebin.com/cNVnTWVN> .
