Same bug happened to me but I found an easy way to resolve it at least for my case: In the sound settings I switch to the "Hardware" tab. There, for me, two devices are shown: "RV710/730" and "Internal Audio". If for "RV710/730" I switch the profile from "HDMI profile" to "Off" (thus disabling the device) everything works fine (reproducible). To me it seems as firefox/flash just takes the first available device it can find no matter what device it is. HTH
