How can I get sound without installing pulse-audio?
Installing pulse audio destroyed any control of audio on one system (FF57). I will not install it on any others but Firefox wants it installed for audio. How can I by pass this requirement?
Firefox is the only program that sound does not work.

ALSA support was dropped starting Firefox 52.0 and later. Some Linux distros may have delayed this change with their own third-party Firefox packages to use ALSA until more recently.
You could compile Firefox yourself with --disable-pulseaudio --enable-alsa
Keep in mind that if you do this you will not get updates from Mozilla as it will be a third-party build.
