No audio but mod is working (2024)

I used the installation guide and successfully installed the mod. My single issue is that my client has no audio. the menu, footsteps, all of it doesn't work.

I have tried:
deleting the resources folder and relaunching the game to let it reinstall the audio files.
using the f3+t trick suggested online which appears to work for most people (but not me)
creating a new 1.5.2 jar unmodded. (this also doesn't have sound.)
if i create a jar for a newer version of minecraft the audio works fine.

I cannot find any solutions online for this issue, is anyone able to help me i would appreciate it.

EDIT: ALL audio does not work. including better than wolves sounds like waterwheels, gearboxes, and the saw.

Any issues I have had were due to copy errors when building the jar.

I am cheap so I build the jar without a zip program so I have to take it a folder at a time or the copy will miss things.

Also if you have ever had other recent mods I would say kill your whole MC folders. All of it everywhere and start from scratch. You would be amazed at the stuff other mods put around to make stuff work.

You can try updating to the latest Java version.

One trick for this is to create a batch file (RunBTW.bat) with the following contents to run the old launcher executable with a different "home" (APPDATA) directory.

SET APPDATA=C:\Where\You\Want\BTWMinecraft.exe

You could also just add a subdirectory to the default value like this:

SET APPDATA=%APPDATA%\BTWMinecraft.exe

This might fix it. Thanks to Sfeclicel on Discord:

"the problem seems to be with the missing files from resorces they are placed in .minecraft\assets\virtual\legacy
it seems that this is a work around so the new launcher works with the older versions but it is done poorly or there is a bug and the music files will not be read from there, the logs say that they are missing from .minecraft\resources
so a work around seems to be that you have to move everything from .minecraft\assets\virtual\legacy\sounds into .minecraft\resources\sound3
but i'm not sure that this is the same for everyone you should look in the console to see from where the launcher is trying to read the music files from and place them there"

Looking at the launcher output log, I'm seeing a bunch of server 403s for Amazon AWS sound and music files.

I had no sound at all; this fixed that problem. Thank you!

For music, copy .minecraft\assets\virtual\legacy\music into .minecraft\resources\music
Untested, but presumably .minecraft\assets\virtual\legacy\records into .minecraft\resources\records

Thanks for the extra confirm, we'll probably need an extra thread for this. I wonder if that means that the new files are just in a different location on the web? We should try to figure that out, so we can fix it the same way as skins.

I was having this issue as well. I tried the above solution but didn't have any luck. I found this video and resource pack download on youtube. Fixed the issue right up for me.

This should probably be stickied or the information provided about moving files from the resources directories around maintained. I just had to do a reinstall and was forced to abandon the legacy viewer and this thread saved my life.

Thanks
