After a fair bit of searching `in turns out that
/etc/asound.coinf and/or ~.asoundrc were missing

Entering (/etc/asound.conf)
for system wide setting.

pcm.!default {
    type hw
    card 1
}


ctl.!default {
    type hw           
    card 1
}


and a reboot fixed it.

Entering (~.asoundrc)
for oersonal(per login) setting

defaults.pcm.!card 1
defaults.ctl.!card 1

YMMN, but that is all I need as I do not have any HDMI speakers or USB
speakers, or bluetooth speakers.

This fixed it for vlc, qasmixer and alsamixer in that they correctly
took the speakers I wanted as default and I didnt have to manually
select the motherboard sound chip.

I'm still working on why the browsers(falkon & firefox-esr) and
quiterss(what ever browser it loads) are not playing sound.
