I recently installed Fedora 23 in my Desktop and everything was working great except the sound.
I did the ldconfig and it didn’t solve it.

00:03.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor HD Audio Controller (rev 06)
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset High Definition Audio Controller (rev 04)
$ lspci -nn | grep -i audio
00:03.0 Audio device [0403]: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor HD Audio Controller [8086:0c0c] (rev 06)

And then used the speaker-test utility to test the speakers
$ speaker-test
speaker-test 1.0.29
Playback device is default
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 1 channels
Using 16 octaves of pink noise
/usr/bin/pulseaudio: error while loading shared libraries: libgomp.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
ALSA lib pulse.c:243:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Connection refused
Playback open error: -111,Connection refused
So I installed the libgomp library with dnf and sound started working
$ sudo dnf install libgomp
Previously I tried uninstalling the alsa-plugins-pulseaudio as described in the reference below and it removed the proprietary media plugins, skype etc all that was installed. So it’s better to avoid following as described in reference[1]
