This issue hasn't happened until ever since the newest windows 10 insiders preview Build 17063,rs)prerekease,171213-1610 was release and update to my computer first i thought it was a driver issue so I did a full reinstall of windows 10 and this time I installed firefox again and it finally worked for audio with no issues but after I did the update again no websites can play audio. In the sounds manager it says that firefox isn't even playing audio at all and even though I have no muted windows in firefox or in youtube it still has not audio. But audio does work in the Microsoft edge.

Chosen solution

That is a known problem caused by a Windows 10 update that breaks playing sound in Firefox.

Mozilla does have a patch on recent Firefox Nightly builds that works (except for mic) but is this really the best option when the recent insiders preview builds was the cause for sound issues in Firefox and other applications.
