I think KDE uses pulseaudio by default. Try installing and using pavucontrol and ensure the output for sound is set to the right device.

When you say firefox you mean flash in firefox? I think that uses the alsa backend so make sure you point it to pulseaudio.
cat /etc/asound.conf
# Use PulseAudio by default
pcm.!default {
type pulse
fallback "sysdefault"
hint {
show on
description "Default ALSA Output (currently PulseAudio Sound Server)"
}
}
ctl.!default {
type pulse
fallback "sysdefault"
}
# vim:set ft=alsaconf:

That didn't work for me however i found out that i just have to go to pavucontrol and set the playback for that application to my sound card. and i only have to do it once and it will save the next time i start my computer. So i guess my problem is solved. Thanks for your help.
