[SOLVED] Possibilities of no sound in web browser-Firefox, Konqueror and Seamonkey

What are the possibilities which can cause no sound in web browser while playing Youtube, but i can hear sound with XMMS Audio Player?

My volume is of course set to high.
I installed with flashplayer-plugin-11.2.202.243-x86_64-1alien.txz

I had the same problems and they were caused by my ATI HDMI audio which was set as my default sound card. For a long time I used a modification in /etc/asound.conf:

Code:

pcm.!default {
  type hw
  card 2
  device 0
}

ctl.!default {
  type hw
  card 2
}

Note: my sound card is 2, yours could be different.

But this no longer worked with YouTube and HTML5. So I removed asound.conf modifications and blacklisted snd-hda-intel module to make YouTube fully functional.

After few trial and error it is OK now, Firefox Youtube video, as well as VLC(Open Network Stream), Seamonkey and Konqueror. I think it is due to the audio output device setting(same as yours).
