I found that removing libflashsupport (on Hardy) resulted in no sound in
Firefox & SeaMonkey. All other apps played sound, just no sound in
mozilla applications. Reinstalled & sound works again. Interesting part
is that I only use direct installed Flash & mozilla apps, so not sure
why the problem occured.
