firefox, chromium, google-chrome and mplayer play videos slowly with no sound

Hello,
I am using -current since a while now with slackpkg.
Yesterday, I updated it and mozilla-firefox-78.0.1esr came along.
I first noticed firefox 78.0.1esr plays Youtube video very slow and with no sound.
It is the same issue on every streaming video website I tried.
I found out there is the same issue, slow video with no sound, with Chromium and Google-chrome.
I checked firefox with no addone (--safe-mode), new (blank)profile and other users on the system, same thing every time no matter which browser I used.
I checked over wifi with my phone, Youtube works well, so this is not my IPS.
I ran some tests with video players on personal videos :
- vlc : OK
- xine : OK
- dragon : OK
- mplayer : slow video and no sound
If I downgrade to firefox 68.10.0.esr (previous version before update), youtube videos work fine. And as I mostly use firefox and vlc, I did not notice any issue before. But maybe this is due to a previous update.
flashplayer is not installed on the system since some years now.
As I did not find any thing anywhere, I guess this is on my system, but I have no clue...
Have you got an idea ?
Thanks,
NB : I did not run konqueror for a long time, but it seems out of service. Event news websites work badly with it. Maybe because I am not under KDE, but not the subject here.
