[SOLVED] No HTML5 Audio output in Firefox

Question

Hi folks, it seems I don't have any HTML5 audio output within Firefox and was hoping I could get some advice. Here's a run down of the situation:
Everything is unmuted in alsamixer.
Audio works through ALSA with every other application I've tried such as moc, vlc, mplayer etc.
I have an .asoundrc file which correctly sets the default and an alias for another card. I use it to switch audio when using mplayer sometimes.
I've used various HTML5 test pages that report audio tag and and playback is working.
Firebug console never reports any errors when trying to play audio within a page.
I've done a fair bit of searching but the documented solution is almost always to setup an .asoundrc config file, but I already have one.
