Hi I have upgraded to Fedora 25 and my sound is not playing , below are some details
Code:
[root@noentry ~]# aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC888 Analog [ALC888 Analog]
You've been asked several times in the past to put CODE tags around such things when posting them. You were also warned several times to NOT LOG IN AS ROOT, but you appear to be doing that too. If you're not going to take advice from us, then why ask questions here????
While the aplay information is good, you omit anything from the log files, dmesg, or other sources, and don't even tell us what kind of hardware (laptop? desktop? external/internal speakers?) you're using. If it was working with another version of Fedora and now isn't, have you checked to see if it's muted?? You don't tell us what desktop environment you're in, but check the mixer/channels, and adjust things. How are you testing this?
The user needs to be in the audio group.
The sound device needs to be un-muted (defaults to muted)
And you need to select which soundcard to use. Everything has a soundcard on it now, and device 0 is by default the default. Which could be your webcam and only has sound input.
$ pavucontrol
If using pulseaudio you can use that application to select your soundcard and adjust the mixer settings. Otherwise you might need a .asoundrc configuration file to change your default soundcard.
Hi Shadow_7, thanks for the reply please see below output
Code:
[root@noentry ~]# cat /proc/asound/cards

Hi Shadow_7, thanks for the reply please see below output
But sound is not coming This is an onboard sound card on a desktop!
Thank you so much for acknowledging the questions I asked too, procfs. So now that we know it's a desktop, you still haven't told us if you bothered to check to see if it was muted or not, as was suggested to you.
AGAIN: Have you checked the mixer to see if things were muted????
Unless Fedora has changed a lot since I last saw it, if you use the default Gnome there should be a sound control applet in the menu (under System preferences, or something like that). That will enable you to set the preferred devices for output and input and to set the volume. If you don't have it, install pavucontrol and run that command in a terminal.

Yep...suggested that to the OP in post #3, the first reply. He apparently ignored that.

While I have to agree with TB0ne, in that your first step is to make sure the sound is not muted, the following line in your dmesg output, caught my eye;
Code:
[ 9.099921] snd_hda_codec_realtek hdaudioC0D2: ALC888: SKU not ready 0x411111f0
A quick Google search of the above, turned up lot of similar results, with the same issues, being no sound.
Have you read any of them?
As from the little I have read of these results, it looks like there could be a clue there.
I agree with the thoughts to check the state of mute and other alsa settings. It has been a while for me with alsa. I formerly used amixer but cannot locate any of the scripts I used to ensure all resource were not on mute and also that all resource volume levels were "max" or "100", I think it was 100. I did a brief recheck of the amixer command and if you issue it with no arguments it tells you back the settings. The benefit of this is that it gives you the resources which you can then "set" controls for. The recommended controls would be "mute off" and "volume 100".
Thank you all for the replays, yes going through the google! why I posted this since I need a quick fix to go through some interview related videos!
If you need a quick fix, it's probably best to actually answer the questions you were asked, instead of ignoring them until later. You still haven't said what desktop GUI you're using, but do you honestly not know, after eleven years...

All controls on alsamixer is at 100%, hope this means its not muted!
...how to check to see if your sound is muted??? All that means is that the levels are at 100%. They can be all the way up AND muted. If you're not familiar with the GUI mixer (probably be something VERY obvious...like a speaker icon with a line through it), then run "alsamixer" from the command-line, press F5 for "All" and look for things with an "MM" at the bottom of the bar.

What does "going through the google!" mean?? Have you checked what TB0ne has asked?? As there is no way to help you until you provide the requested info.

It does not. It means the volume controls are at 100%. The mute property is a separate attribute setting.
As before, recommend you check the mute setting.
Also please let us know if sound ever worked on this system.
@jsbjsb001: "going through the google" I believe is their way of stating that they tried a web search using the Google search engine. It is also possible that this is a colloquialism and was meant to indicate that they performed a web search, regardless of whatever search engine they chose to use.
I am sorry for the trouble, in my frustration was trying to go about doing everything than just simply following instructions. Surround was muted. thank you all for the help and understanding, it was my mistake!
