works here too as it has done for years.

with sysctl hw.snd.verbose=1 or 2, check in /dev/sndstat to see
whether the default selected device is actually what you expect:

$ grep default /dev/sndstat
pcm0: <Realtek ALC256 (Internal Analog)> on hdaa0  (1p:1v/1r:1v) default

in firefox, check about:support media section, to see what default
output/input device has been chosen, and what udio backend is detected.
Possibly pulseaudio crept in when you updated ports for 13.1 ?

in about:config try setting media.cubeb.backend set to `oss` in case
you can force it.

the about:about in firefox contains a long list of other about: pages.

A+
