Have you tried playing an audio file from the disk with a medial player (e.g. vlc or mpv), to see if sound is produced as expected? Then did you try to play the same file with Firefox (from within Dolphin use 'Open with')? If both of the above work, as they should, the problem is not with your desktop sound settings. Using some plugin on Firefox may come with its own sandbox/isolation which complicates matters. PS. If it is BBC or some such you want to listen/watch, have you considered using get_iplayer?
