Comment 3 Scott Dowdle 2016-04-03 16:16:13 UTC 
This is affecting me too.  Video playback in Firefox is dead.  Video players are dead.  Only VLC (from rpmfusion) is working but no audio.  Checking PulseAudio Volume Control, everything is fine.

Doing a "dnf downgrade alsa-plugins-pulseaudio" and rebooting totally fixed it.
Comment 4 Scott Dowdle 2016-04-04 15:59:14 UTC 
Restarting pulseaudio as my user (once alsa-plugins-pulseaudio is downgrade) also seems to fix it so no reboot required.
Comment 5 Jaroslav Kysela 2016-04-05 10:20:33 UTC 
Could you attach output from 'alsa-info.sh --no-upload' with latest alsa packages and do basic ALSA tests (command line) like:

  speaker-test -c2
  speaker-test -c2 -Dhw:0
  speaker-test -c2 -Dfront:0

Comment 8 customercare 2016-04-05 11:12:57 UTC

the translation to german is wrong : "white noise"  should be "weisses Rauschen" not "rosa Rauschen".
Comment 9 Jaroslav Kysela 2016-04-05 11:35:56 UTC 
OK, so it seems that ALSA is working.

Could you kill pulseaudio daemon and start it on commandline as 'pulseaudio -vvvvvvvv', then try 'speaker-test -c2' .

Pulseaudio output with 7vs
Comment 12 customercare 2016-04-05 11:47:17 UTC 
I hope you can explain, why there is sound now, after Pulseaudio got restarted the hard way 3 times in a row.

lets summerize:

upgrading alsa-lib to latest stable did disable Pulseaudio, 
where instant downgrading fixed it. 

upgrading alsa-lib to latest stable did disable Pulseaudio, 
but restarting pulseaudio several times, worked in the end.

I will now check it's it surviving a reboot
Comment 13 customercare 2016-04-05 11:52:28 UTC 
Reboot result:

Sound is back now with an uptodate alsa package.

Any ideas why ?

did that -k removed some old configs of PA ?
Comment 14 customercare 2016-04-05 14:35:57 UTC 
Update: 

I tried to fix my laptop, which had the same bug. 

pulseaudio -k;pulseaudio -vvvvvvv  

did restart PA, but it did not do the trick!

### FIX ### ### FIX ###  ### FIX ### ### FIX ### ### FIX ### ### FIX ### 


several repeated "pulseaudio -k"  did it in the end. I think i had around 6x restarts, than it worked.

Comment 15 Jaroslav Kysela 2016-04-05 16:16:16 UTC 
It looks like PA issue then.
Comment 16 Jaroslav Kysela 2016-04-05 16:20:49 UTC 
Also, could you append output from alsa-info.sh when PA is working? To check the mixer settings. From the same machine as for alsa-info.sh output in comment #11 .
Comment 17 Scott Dowdle 2016-04-05 16:21:25 UTC 
I had the problem happen on a desktop system at work (Dell Optiplex 9010) and a laptop at home (Dell Latitude D630)... and both of them were rebooted multiple times... and it did not fix itself.  The only thing that fixed it was downgrading.  If rebooting doesn't fix it and an end user has to manually restart pulseaudio a few times... that is weird.  Any explanation on what that fixes it?

I saw another user report having the issue on multiple machines too:

https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2016-5138079046

That anonymous reporter isn't me.  Perhaps it is customercare?  Or more likely, yet another person with the issue.

Does this only seem to be affecting a small number of users?  Or everyone?  I guess an understanding of the underlying issue will reveal that, eh?
Comment 18 Scott Dowdle 2016-04-05 16:39:24 UTC 
Just did a round of updates again... and allowed the alsa-plugins-pulseaudio update to happen again.  It didn't break anything.  Just for the heck of it, I restarted pulse... and it was still working... so I'm not able to reproduce the error anymore.  I have not rebooted though.
Comment 19 Scott Dowdle 2016-04-05 16:57:09 UTC 
Functionality survived a reboot.  I can no longer reproduce the issue.

Comment 22 customercare 2016-04-05 18:13:25 UTC 
thats just because i blocked all alsapackages from updateing after downgrading them, and just updated alsa-libs for the test, as that seems to be enough to trigger the bug.
Comment 23 Fedora End Of Life 2016-11-25 07:13:47 UTC 
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '23'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.
Comment 24 Fedora End Of Life 2016-12-20 19:45:57 UTC 
Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
