Windows 10: Sound Driver for Vizio soundbar

I have a windows 11 PC and am using my TV as a monitor via HDMI and also using a Vizio 2.0 sound bar model SB2020n-G6 for sound. It was working fin until today. I think that I must have uninstalled the sound driver from windows. Can someone point me to a site that has this driver ? I found a site for a firmware update to the soundbar but I don't believe that will solve my problem.

VIZIO S3820w Soundbar stopped working after Windows 10 October update

I know this latest update caused all kinds of issues (documented sound issues too) but I couldn't find this one yet: I've been using my VIZIO S3820w soundbar via Bluetooth for years without an issue, but after the Windows 10 October update it stopped working.
It now only works when connected by a wire. In device manager there is a yellow exclamation mark next to the VIZIO S3820w Stereo driver. I already updated the Realtek High Definition Audio driver as suggested by another post here. I also tried to uninstall
as well as update the VIZIO S3820s driver. No luck. It shows a driver date of 9/14/2018, version 10.0.17763.1. Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks,
