Notes:
After initially replacing only launcher, also tried deleting existing .minecraft folder after that to get fully fresh installation -> didn't fix the issue either.
Needless to say this is isolated issue to minecraft only and has nothing to do with any sound levels being zeroed for certain applications or in minecraft client itself. Checked also all the other obvious reasons twice just be sure of it.
What I have not tried is to update lwjgl libraries from http://www.lwjgl.org/ as I believe that it's not my task to find a version what is compatible with the build what is distributed with the minecraft client 
Would be nice to have some sound in minecraft again - please fix the issue. Thank you.
