Sound issues in Firefox

Hello all. I have set up a fresh install of Arch recently, and have been slowly getting everything working and set up as desired. Currently, one main issue that I have been having has been sound in Firefox. I am running sound through an Audioquest Dragonfly1.2, and I have it working fine with both mpd and VLC. When I run Firefox through a console with --enable-debug, I don't get any sound related errors; most of the output is warnings with GTK themes. I have been doing extensive searches over the past few days to try and find a solution, but everything that I have run across has been a sound card order/default card issue, or PulseAudio, which I have not installed

Here is the output of aplay -l:

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: DragonFly [AudioQuest DragonFly], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC883 Analog [ALC883 Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: Intel [HDA Intel], device 1: ALC883 Digital [ALC883 Digital]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 2: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 2: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 7: HDMI 1 [HDMI 1]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 2: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 8: HDMI 2 [HDMI 2]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

And here is my /etc/asound.conf:

pcm.!default {
	type hw
	card DragonFly
}

ctl.!default {
	type hw
	card DragonFly
}

timer.!default {
	type hw
	card DragonFly
}

I haven't changed the index numbers for the cards, but the DragonFly is sitting at index 0, so I don't think that is the problem.

The only other thing to note is that on startup, I do get this error:

[    5.081196] usb 3-1: 1:1: cannot get freq at ep 0x1

But since I can play audio just fine and haven't had much luck with a solution,  I haven't worried too much about it.

EDIT: Ended up needing to install Pulse-audio when I went to install Skype, and now I have sound in Firefox. Weird. Well, as the problem no longer exists, this post can be safely ignored.
