No sound in internet explorer

Hi, My computer out of nowhere has lost sound when I am in internet explorer. My speakers are plugged in fine, I can hear through them upon startup, and they play fine if I am playing something over Windows Media player or itunes. However, if I try playing a streaming video/music online through say youtube, I get no sound whatsoever. Also, the video will stream for around three or four seconds, and then just stop. This happens to any video I try to watch. Other than that, my computer is running fine. Do you have any idea how to fix this?
