Subwoofer isn't working?

I have a Vizio sound bar and a subwoofer that came along with it. The sound bar is working fine, as was the subwoofer along with it last night. Today I tried to play some music, and the subwoofer simply isn't doing anything. They are bluetooth and I've tried to re-sync them as well to no success. I have the sound bar hooked up via an optical cable into my motherboard on my PC. This is the first time I've had troubles with this. In the playback devices it is recognized as "Realtek Digital Output(Optical)" Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
 
Since the soundbar is working the PC is not the issue. If you can connect the sub to the soundbar with a cable rather than BT that would tell you if the problem is the sub itself or the BT connection to the soundbar.
 


i dont think its possible to connect without bluetooth.
