More info needed to solve this
We need the entire and exact error message and it can't hurt to know the hardware, run lspci in a terminal for that

After messing around a bit, I found that if go into sound preferences and change from ALSA to OSS the problem is solved.

In messing around, I must have removed an important something. I no longer have sound in Firefox 3 or Opera .

Can you help me there ?

Well - FF and Opera might need alsa
I found this somewhere
First, I had to install the package:

apt-get install alsa-oss


Next, a change to Firefox's configuration to tell it to use said interface:

cd /etc/firefox
edit 'firefoxrc' and change
FIREFOX_DSP="none"
to
FIREFOX_DSP="aoss"


Stop and restart Firefox.
