[FIXED]No sound on Firefox (i can hear youtube, vine and soundcloud)

hi all , i have a problem (and i supose it's a bad configuration problem but i tried to search the same problem and couldn't find similar posts)
The problem is i can't hear any sources of audio / video in Firefox, but i can hear youtube vids and .webm.
Got Mozilla Firefox 38.0.1 with ALSA as sound card driver and pulseaudio.

this is my aasound.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"
}

i tried twitch.tv or gaana.com and i have no sound. But in vine.com, soundcloud.com and youtube.com i have perfectly sound

no need to say i have output channel unmuted in alsa.
If you need more info post it and i will update the post

Thanks for the reply

Maybe it is missing some codecs?

$ sudo pacman -S gst-plugins-bad gst-plugins-base gstreamer gstreamer0.10 gstreamer0.10-bad gstreamer0.10-bad-plugins gstreamer0.10-base-plugins gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-good gstreamer0.10-good-plugins gstreamer0.10-python gstreamer0.10-ugly gstreamer0.10-ugly-plugins phonon-qt4-gstreamer x264 gst-plugins-good gst-libav flac libdvdread libdvdcss libdvdnav a52dec faac faad2 jasper lame libdca libdv libmad libmpeg2 libtheora libvorbis libxv xvidcore flashplugin libquicktime libopenraw python2-lxml python2-numpy uniconvertor libmtp gvfs-mtp libdvdcss

Do you have pulseaudio-alsa installed?

$ sudo pacman -S gst-plugins-bad gst-plugins-base gstreamer gstreamer0.10 gstreamer0.10-bad gstreamer0.10-bad-plugins gstreamer0.10-base-plugins gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-good gstreamer0.10-good-plugins gstreamer0.10-python gstreamer0.10-ugly gstreamer0.10-ugly-plugins phonon-qt4-gstreamer x264 gst-plugins-good gst-libav flac libdvdread libdvdcss libdvdnav a52dec faac faad2 jasper lame libdca libdv libmad libmpeg2 libtheora libvorbis libxv xvidcore flashplugin pavucontrol mpd libquicktime libopenraw python2-lxml python2-numpy uniconvertor libmtp gvfs-mtp libdvdcss

You better explain why would someone need all of that.

$ sudo pacman -S <lots of bs>

If this was an attempt to be funny, it isn't.

If it was an attempt to help, it's not that either.

Please don't waste people's time like this.

Does this problem only appear in firefox, respectively have you tried any other browser or any other application using sound (and pulseaudio)?

My guess would be missing alsa-plugins package as it is the one that actually contains the pulse alsa emulation plugin
