Let me ask a few questions first: How many sound cards does your computer have? If you have more than one, Amarok may be sending sound to the wrong device. Is there any sound at all? Can you watch a youtube video - is there sound with it? If yes, then there's something jacked in Amarok's configuration. I haven't used Amarok for some time and don't remember how to configure it.
If you've determined no answers to all the above questions and the computer is entirely silent, the first thing I would suggest is to see if your sound module loaded properly. From the root prompt, type 'lsmod | grep snd' (without the quotes) and post the output. If that is determined to be loading properly, the issue is with the configuration of ALSA. I use ubuntu based Linux, and I know there's some differences in the area of ALSA configuration between Fedora and Ubuntu. You'd want to search the repos and install a program called something like alsaconfig or alsaconf - also alsamixergui or alsamixer. I wish I could do better than giving you the flow-chart for finding the culprit, but that's the way to determine the issue. Once we have the output of the command I referenced above, we'll have a better idea of what you're up against.
