Firefox by itself can't play sound but needs plugins for this.

I'm using  mozplugger:

,----[ pkgdesc mozplugger ]
| Package: mozplugger
| Description: Plugin allowing external viewers to be launched inside Mozilla
|  mozplugger allows you to seamlessly integrate external applications
|  to view files downloaded from the web that Mozilla can not normally
|  handle. The application is embedded within a Mozilla window as to act
|  like and feel like a true plugin.
|  .
|  This allows to you view PDFs, Postscript files, animations and
|  movies, amongst other file types all from within Mozilla (with
|  supporting applications).
