Welcome to our forum, and thank you for participating. Since you are new to openSUSE Linux, I recommend you read this openSUSE Linux concepts page, to become more familiar with to level concepts:

I will assume you have sound working in other applications. Please advice me if you have no sound in any application. You can test for sound by copying and pasting the following in an xterm/konsole:
speaker-test -Dplug:front -c2 -l5 -twav
Typically openSUSE users will obtain their "vlc" from one of two repositories (videolan or Packman). From which repository did you obtain the version of "vlc" on your PC? Note it is often best not to mix rpms from these two repositories. Hence I recommend you set up your repositories with the Packman repository per the guidance in this URL:
Repositories/11.0 - openSUSE-Community
Add only OSS, NON-OSS, Update and Packman. Only select those 4 for now.
Now install vlc again, and also install
* w32codec-all
* xvid
And finally, if you have 3D affects enabled, you could have problems seeing the video on vlc, in which case inside the vlc program switch its video input to x11 (or disable special effects).
