You can try to disable GStreamer support for the HTML5 media player by setting media.gstreamer.enabled to false on the about:config page.

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

I did all the recommended procedures and firefox continues without sound. System sounds and sounds in other programs works normally. Only firefox has no sound, except when I watch videos on youtube.

What else can I do?
