I would just change all the spokes for something else like sapim straight gauge spokes and crank them a lot. Spokes can snap for lack of tension too.
+1. This wheel needs a rebuild. I'd try the warranty route first though. No experience with complete Vuelta wheels. I've built wheels with Vuelta rims. Seem to be quite good quality for the price point.
