Youtube has no sound in Chrome

Problem:

I was trying to play a video on youtube in Chrome. It has the video but with no sound. The system speaker works fine and I can listen to the music played by the media player. Therefore, the conclusion is that there is something wrong with Chrome.

Solution:

Open an IE and set it as default browser. Then restart Chrome.
