Check the Windows Vista volume mixer, for details see no sound in Firefox. Other parts of that article could also be relevant.

Does that happen with every plugin or only with a specific plugin?

You can right-click a player to see which is used if you do not recognize it's appearance.

Did you check in the Volume Mixer setting which output device is selected?

Did you check the settings in Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Devices ?
