VLC is not working on Ubuntu 22.04

I just upgraded my system from Ubuntu 20.04 to 22.04, however, the VLC media player is not working at all, I tried to uninstall it and re-install it (vlc 3.0.18) again using sudo snap install vlc but it's still not launching

I tried the solutions from this thread, but nothing worked. One solution suggested to install from ppa:videolan/master-daily and then sudo apt-get install vlc and it did work, however, the app was unstable.
I checked their bug tracking system, no one reported such an issue over there.

Have you tried installing VLC from the default repository by just using the following command:
```
sudo apt install vlc
```

You can also try installing VLC using flatpak:

sudo apt install flatpak

sudo flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

flatpak install flathub org.videolan.VLC

You can refer to following guide.
