No, it becomes "waste" heat. The energy is still there, just too diffuse to be accessible.
In energy terms, that means that of the original energy, a certain percentage - usually less than 100% - gets converted into the desired end form. The remainder gets converted into some waste energy; quite often, much of this waste energy is in the form of heat, which is - to a great extent - unusable.The details, how this happens, will vary from case to case. For example, friction may convert part of the energy into heat. Or an electrical current may pass through a resistor, where the current is converted to heat.
In the Sun, energy is converted through nuclear fusion. Specifically, hydrogen-1 is converted into helium-4. This releases a huge amount of energy. Of course, the energy was there from the moment the Sun formed - in the form of the fuel, hydrogen-1. The energy is simply converted to another form.
All kinetic energy gets converted to heat because of friction. All light energy gets converted to heat because of absorbtion. All electrical energy gets converted to heat because of resistance. Potential and chemical energy are stored forms of energy, that will turn into heat-, kinetic- and light energy when used. So in the end there will only be heat energy.
Energy has to be converted to a different form when it cannot be used in its original form. Wind, as well as dam and tidal waters have to spin generators and thus their original form gets changed -- to provide us with electricity.
When you use energy, it gets converted from one form to another. For example, when you burn fuel for heat, chemical energy is converted to thermal energy. Ultimately, some amount of energy is always lost as waste heat during these conversions.
Energy gets converted from one form to another. Hence, it participates in water cycle.

Almost invariably, in any energy conversion, some energy gets converted into waste heat.

Sound Energy can't be stored in any way! Whenever u'll try to store it....it will get converted into another form of energy as per the fundamental concept of conservatism of energy which says that "energy can never be destroyed, it simply gets converted into another form of energy!" Hope it will suffice!

It gets converted into a form that you can't utilize.
No. However, you can (and will) convert high-value energy to low-value energy. In other words, energy gets "used up" in the sense that it gets converted into a form that is no longer useful.
no, its how much energy gets converted to usable work.
