I'm at the end of my rope!
I have been using Vista and VLC for well over a year. Never one problem. A few days ago, I was using VLC, left computer and came back several hours later. Now VLC has no sound on any type file. I have checked everything I can think of. In addition to this, I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it at lease five times. I tried older and current versions. NOTHING WORKS!

Rename vlc.exe to vlc2.exe and try again.

Worked like a charm! You just made my weekend, and possibly my BFF list. 
Now what exactly did I do?

It is Windows Vista audio mixer. It sometimes mutes single application permanently and because it identifies the applications by its filename, renaming helps. Personally I haven't ever seen this issue, so I have no clue what causes audio mixer to go haywire.
