Amazon Echo Dot won’t connect to Samsung Soundbar

Rosygemma — Wed, 27 Dec 2017 16:59:34 GMT

Hello,

i bought my my husband an Echo Dot for Xmas thinking we’d be able to pair it through Bluetooth to our Samsung soundbar. But the Echo doesn’t find the Samsung device so I’m unable to pair.

has anyone else figured out how to do it? I can’t find any info on the internet to help.

thanks

I am sure you have already found a solution by now, but I just bought an Samsung HW-K450 sound bar and I was having problems with it connecting to my Echo dot.

So, I logged into the alexa desktop app on my PC and added it via "settings" = > "add new device" and it worked.

See helpful article link below:

I did read that some people use an alexa skill to connect to a bluetooth speaker, but I found that process took ages and utlimately did not work.

Had the same problem, followed directions on CNET for successful solution.

Excellent quick fix using that CNET article, but it looks like it's only a temporary plug in, in which you are prompted to repeat those steps all over again, so to make a permanent fix you'll need to invest into a smart hub device and download the SmartThings app as a liaison so that these devices and apps can communicate with each other.

You need to go into your alexa echo via amazon alexa app, and go into audio settings and add your bluetooth speaker to pair it with. Pairing with the home thing will need additional plugins from samsung account

Been a Samsung loyal customer over a decade now. Recently purchased Q60T TV and Soundbar.

Had the same problem and now resolved by login into my Alexa account via computer. Thank you for the help here.

I recently got a Samsung HW-T650 which has BT and no wi-fi. Could not get Alexa to connect to it even though my Android phone "saw" the speaker. Finally found a solution via Samsung "did you know" where in the Alexa app, I clicked on "Echo and Alexa" button and that way Alexa found the speaker. My belief is that Alexa will recognize automatically Amazon devices and also those on wi-fi (it saw my wireless printer) but the soundbar did not show until you go into the "Echo and Alexa" button. Hope that helps someone.

Were you able to figure it out? I have the HW-Q60T as well and neither my alexa app nor web browser on my PC is able to find my speakers via bluetooth, i do have my speaker in pairing mode.

Powercycle all three devices if you've recently installed the software. Try it from amazon.alexa.com instead of your device. Then pair with bluetooth while your soundbar is in pairing mode.

Yes this option you mentioned works. I was having this problem & I even called Amazon tech support for help and they couldn't get it going for me. So I googled how to connect and stumbled upon this forum. Read your comment and tried your suggestion and bam within 5 seconds problem was solved. I had been trying for the last 2 days to connect my soundbar to Alexa. Thanks a million for your response in this forum because it truly works quickly

Can I ask where you are seeing this "echo and alexa" button?? I've searched the alexa app and cannot find anything like this.

***** SOLUTION *****

Go to your Alexa app, click devices, click on the echo device you would like the soundbar to connect to (e.g echo dot), click connect a device (soundbar in Bluetooth pairing mode) and select your soundbar. Done!
