    Reinstall VLC, it's still arguably the most versatile media player available. If that doesn't work, what format dare your videos stored in?

    As an obvious question. Are you still getting other sounds from your computer? and you've not just muted VLC in the windows mixer ?

    Try resetting VLC's settings. I think you can do that from within the settings option. If not I think there's an option to clear settings when re-installing.

    Failing that the only other media player I'd be tempted to try is Media Player Classic.

    I like Foobar2000 and Winamp for audio and Windows Media Player with a codec pack for video

    Nope it's just VLC.
    I did reinstall it but the audio still doesn't work o_o
    How would I reset the settings exactly?

    Media Player Classic is just as versatile as VLC, I find.

    May I ask where you downloaded that from?
    I tried CNET but my anti-virus is blocking the download o_o
