Hello,
I've written /etc/asound.conf like here to make sound goes through both my laptop speackers and hdmi output (it's the best way I found to do this).
But after this, I found that there is no more sound on Pale Moon. I tried also on Firefox by curiosity and there is no sound either. All other programs have working sound.
After some research on ddg, I found this topic on Gentoo Forums, which links to this old Mozilla's bugreport that seems to be still unresolved.
How could I fix this issue?

Re: No sound playback with Pale Moon on Gentoo
After some research:
Try using plughw or plug + hw instead of just "hw". There's no guarantee that the rate output by Pale Moon matches what your hardware expects. If it mismatches then the card will reject it -> no sound.

Hi,
@Moonchild: I succeeded to make a working configuration. I'm sharing it here if it can help others.
I changed Gentoo's wiki instructions to that:
