No sound makes this quite a significant bug. It is proving difficult to trace the cause, though I have replicated the symptoms you described in a test Ubuntu 20.04 LTS VirtualBox install, with the same 0% or 5% volume only when using the mouse wheel, and no volume even when clicking the volume slider to 100% manually.

Curiously the bug is not present on either Ubuntu 16.04 or 18.04 with the same latest VLC builds (3.0.17.4-2~XX.04.sav0) for those releases, which are built against essentially the same set of VLC dependency versions as the Focal build.

Someone has actually reported an identical bug to upstream VLC [*] two days ago, but the suggestion to reset VLC preferences did not work in my testing within the VBox 20.04 installation. So this may well be a bug and issue with upstream source code changes by the VLC team.
