VIZIO Subwoofer Not Working – Fixes
Without a subwoofer, you cannot enjoy the throttle, and the low-frequency response, which is a critical factor in the sound. Fixing the subwoofer which is not pairing, or not working with the soundbar requires different steps.
Below, we have provided you with all the steps that you need to follow to fix the VIZIO subwoofer not working issue.
1. Check the Power
Firstly, you will have to ensure that your subwoofer is connected to the power, and is turned on. Often, we make the mistake of not powering the soundbar and wonder why the soundbar is not working.
So, before moving into the crucial, and technical steps, you have to simply check the power connection. If the subwoofer is not turning on, then you need to check the power cable. If it is good, then move on to the next steps.
2. Reduce the Distance Between the Subwoofer & Soundbar
If there is a Bluetooth connection between the subwoofer and the soundbar, and you have placed the soundbar, and the subwoofer far away, both of these devices will surely not work, as the Bluetooth comes with a specific range, and after the devices get out of the range, it does not work.
So, you will need to assure the distance between the subwoofer, and the soundbar is not very far away. If it is so, then you need to get them closer to each other.
