chronyd[3542]: chronyd version 3.5 starting (+CMDMON +NTP +REFCLOCK +RTC -
PRIVDROP +SCFILTER -SIGND +ASYNCDNS -SECHASH +IPV6 -DEBUG)

As you can see mine is running with +NTP and I have no such problem.  /usr/
sbin/chronyd runs as root, so I don't know why yours complains about ntp user/
group.

# ps axf o user,group,pid,comm | grep chrony
root     root      3542 chronyd

I suspect this is not an alsa or Firefox problem.  I have alsa-utils installed 
and did not have to reinstall it.  However, I've been running with elogind 
instead of consolekit for a while now.

Have a quick look here for some basic steps to check consolekit is removed and 
elogind is setup/switched to properly:
