If you're experiencing issues with your Vizio S4251w-B4 soundbar. Let's try a few troubleshooting steps to see if we can resolve the problem.

1. Make sure all the connections are secure: Check that all the cables between the soundbar, subwoofer, and satellite speakers are securely plugged in. Ensure that the connections are tight and there are no loose cables.

2. Check the input source: Confirm that the input source on the soundbar is set correctly. Ensure that it is set to the appropriate input option, such as HDMI, optical, or AUX, depending on how your devices are connected.

3. Adjust the volume: Make sure that the volume is turned up on both the soundbar and the connected audio device. Additionally, check if there is a "mute" function on the soundbar or remote control that might be engaged - if it is, simply press the mute button to unmute the sound.

4. Reset the soundbar: In some cases, a simple reset can fix the issue. Disconnect the power cord from the soundbar and wait for about 30 seconds. Then reconnect the power and try turning it on again.

5. Test with different audio sources: Try playing audio from various sources like a TV, laptop, or mobile device to identify if the issue is specific to a particular source or if it persists across different devices.

I hope this is helpful? PLEASE "ACCEPT" and mark it "HELPFUL" to complement my little effort. Hope to bring you more detailed answers.
