winamp3 and winamp 5 have the same output method, so their should be no difference.

are the songs playing at all? (timer changing)
do you have the directsound or wavout plug-ins enabled?
is the winamp volume UP?

What do you have for a sound card?

Maybe the following will work…
In Winamp
1. Ctrl+P (for preferences)
2. Plug-ins > Output
3. double click "DirectSound"
4. Device tab
5. In the device drop down menu select either "Primary Sound Driver (or Device)" or what closely reflects your the name of your sound card.
6. try checking (or un-checking) "Enable hardware acceleration"
7. close out of prefs.
