Your problem seems a tad strange

On a relatively recent slack install, all that is needed is

alsaconf

alsamixer

alsactl store

No need to do the /dev/dsp boogie like we used to do
 
I use aumixer personally for sound levels, etc, but almost any should
work without problem

And for sound on Youtube: aoss opera
                          aoss firefox 
I dunno about other browsers because I never use them
