Complement...

No "/etc/pulse" on your system?

Install pulseaudio package and follow the instructions by @mojo.

If it doesn't work for you. An alternative.

01. Install apulse package.

02. Edit the firefox launcher in "/usr/share/applications".

03. Find the line: Exec=firefox-official %u

04, And edit to: Exec=/usr/bin/apulse firefox-official %u

05. Save the file and test on youtube.

!! My test was successful in SliTaz Rolling with youtube.

!! Rolling "19 Mar 2017" Release. An alternative to the moment.
