I think that is your problem.  If alsa doesn't recognize the device,
when it used to, then there is probably a hardware error.  To be sure,
you should check when alsa-lib was installed,
rpm -qi alsa-lib
If that was around the time your device stopped working, it could be a
regression in the library.  They do happen, but it isn't common.  You
can try a downgrade to an earlier alsa-lib by downloading the packages
you have installed from here,
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=410
and install them with
dnf -C downgrade [list of binary rpms]
in the directory to where you downloaded them.

If it is a discrete sound device, you could try reseating it, in case
it is no longer making good contact.  Do you have another sound device
you can install as a check?

If you run 
journalctl -b0
to look at the last boot, what does it show for sound device
initialization?  Is there any kind of error when it tries to activate
the device that is no longer working?
