Hi, I got a similar problem having a web cam with integrated microphone. Restarting the computer with the web cam unplugged would bring back the sound in iceweasel. Blacklisting snd_usb_audio in alsa-base-blacklist.conf did solve the problem, in a not too nice way, but it did what I wanted. Of course, I cannot use the microphone on the web cam now, but I really don't care for it.
