More details please. hardware and software on your system, logs, lspci and lsmod would help.
which audio are you using, intel or nvidia? if nvidia, you might replace the nouveau driver with the proprietary nvidia drivers.
The intel is my default audio. Nvidia is on the graphics card I think. The sound worked when I installed Fedora 25 and then stopped working - possibly when I installed additional software. I installed nonfree codecs etc. Not sure if it stopped working directly after this.
@hend Maybe not a solution for you but just wanted to say, I had the same problem, sound was working, then not working and I tried everything, then I reinstalled fedora(upgraded also) but still no sound, then I found out it was the speakers that were broken and nothing to do with fedora, I went to the store and got new speakers and wola, everything working since then
Booted a live CD of Ubuntu 16.01 and youtube sound works perfect so the problem is related to Fedora
