No Audio on streaming video

When I surf to our national TV station (CBC) I can watch video clips
without any problem but when I try to watch live shows, the Windows
Media Player starts up and I can watch the show but there is no audio.
Anyone have some suggestions on what is causing this?

Most often, that is the lack of a codec for the audio
Using codecs:

The Windows Media Player is set to download missing codecs
automatically. The media player does not tell me that any codecs are
missing but all I see is the video, no audio.

Right after I sent that message I tried it again and this time the
browser asked to install a missing plugin! It could not do it but I
managed to download and install it manually and now everything works.
Thanks.
