Firefox killing the sound on my Ubuntu box
Tonight I encountered a rather strange problem on my Ubuntu box. While doing nothing special on my machine, just surfing and listening to music and suddenly there are no sound?!?
Doing a quick search on ubuntuforums.org I quickly found the solution. The problem seems to be Firefox, killing the firefox sessions and restarting the alsa-utils did the trick for me, and voila the sound is back 
The howto get the sound back is found here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2742327
BTW: starting firefox again did not cause any problems
