Volume for Limewire does not work. Volume works on iTunes, WMP and even YouTube! Any idea's?

[whenigrowup]

As indicated by the title, I cannot seem to play any audio files in my Limewire. I recently purchased a new laptop and proceeded to download Limewire 5. For a couple of hours, everything was working fine and I could listen to all the songs I had downloaded. However, later I had stopped listening to music and downloaded iTunes (for my iPod). An hour or so later, I tried to play a song in my Limewire and I couldn't hear it. I tried playing other songs and I could see them being played in the Limewire Player, but I couldn't hear the sound.

Now, I did check the volume which is right next to the song and it's fine. I've moved it up and down and I've checked my computer's volume and it's fine as well. The sound works when I play the song in iTunes or Windows Media Player and even Youtube!

I've uninstalled and reinstalled Limewire at least 5 times. I've uninstalled iTunes (thinking it may be associated with a problem) as of now, but I have no idea as to what went wrong.

Does anyone have any idea's as to what went wrong?
