Frame TV with Alexa/Echo Studio

[AndreaFrame]

When I connect my 2024 Frame TV to my Alexa/Echo Studio so I can hear the sound from the TV/Movies etc through it the TV automatically goes to the Music Wall and I can't find any settings or way to turn it off and achieve what I want to do.

TBH I don't understand why it is doing this as I am not sending any music to the TV.

I can successfully connect an Echo (large ball) to the TV and hear the sound come through to it with no issues. What is different about the Studio that causes this problem and how do I stop it.

There was an older post about this very problem but no effective solution offered. I have looked for the other answers in other forums but can't even find the settings they refer to.

This is our third Frame TV and I don't like how each operating system just gets harder to use and has reduced control by the owner of the TV.

Hi and welcome, assume the Echo Studio is just via Bluetooth connection not the TV Alexa app ?

Seems to be defaulting to a music/soundbar type mode and launching the Music wall, unfamiliar with this, but are there any setting in this to turn it off ?

Yes just via Bluetooth. No setting anywhere that I can find in Samsung or Alexa. 🤷

But I did end up getting it to work. After giving up on the Studio I reconnected the Echo and it also triggered the sound wall which it wasn't doing earlier.

So I thought about what I had done since testing it and it was working and the main thing was connecting the TV to Smart Things.

So I disconnected it from smart things, restarted everything and connected the Echo successfully and then the Studio, successfully 👍. It offered up the multi connect as well which I was expecting in the beginning. So it's all working as expected now. We also have our second Frame connected to two Echo pops in the bedroom that work the same way via multi connect and Bluetooth.

Great to hear and glad you sorted it yourself and accepted your solution.
