Sorry that my reply is late, but I have been away from my PC this week.

I still receive no audio output from Firefox, Google, or Yahoo.

Try this:

sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-installer flashplugin-nonfree flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound; mkdir ~/.mozilla/plugins; cd ~/.mozilla/plugins; wget http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz; tar zxvf ./install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz; rm ./install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz

Then close all browsers and retry flash.
