I seem to be having an issue with Minecraft Forge for 1.6.4 where I don't get any game sounds. I've tried using both the latest and the recommended releases, but I am having the problem with both versions. In my previous workspace I did not have this problem (also 1.6.4), but I decided to upgrade my workspace to use gradle. Note that I have also tried using the non-gradle version of forge and still have the issue. I have also attempted running Minecraft in a clean workspace with no mods, but the problem still persists.

 

There is a stack trace in the console:

I'm not sure what this stack trace relates to (it is in a workspace with no mods, so it's definitely related to Minecraft/forge. I did a little bit of searching, but can't seem to find any solution, so if anyone could offer any assistance I would be most appreciative

The latest should work fine.

The recomended is pre-gradle and as such we cant change the place the assets are downloaded from.

What you need to do is go into your .minecraft folder and copy the assets folder into the jars folder in your workspace.

Wow... of all the things I don't think to check for the assets. That did indeed fix my problem. Thanks!
