UNRESOLVED sound issue with new launcher

This is not Resolved. Is no one else having this issue? If So how do I download the Old launcher?

I am not experiencing MC-9974, There is no indication of failure of any kind. The volume setting under options is at a normal level. But there is no sound. Takes several restarts to clear issue. Updated Java to newest release and no help. The sound issue seems to only have started when I installed the new launched. I deleted the old one as I chose the complete new install option.
Issue still exists. No error messages. One time it took 8 or 9 re-starts to get sound to work. Unfortunately I did the delete and replace option when I installed the new launcher.(the other option kept failing) I can't seem to find a place on the Mojang website that provides a download of the old launcher
