Don’t worry! Even I have also done this act many times when I was unknown from its solution. So, I am going to share its simple solution with you.
This is one of the common issues and it happens with most ripped movies which have downloaded online. The issue is generally encountered with those movies (mainly in dual-audio movies) having the audio codec as AC3 (A52) and channels as 3F2R/LFE (3 Front, 2 Rear and plus low frequency), which is 5.1 surround sound.
This is the main reason; you might not be able to hear any audio in the case of AC3 codec or the relevant codec pack is not installed or 6-channel surround sound audio output is not being supported by your system.

Now you’ll be able to hear the vocals too, presuming the background music could be heard before. To change between the audio devices quickly, you can use the keyboard hotkey Shift + A in VLC player.
Note: A downside of this simple way is that you will have to make the change next time again in VLC player whenever you will play those videos which have no audio available.
