It's one of the best sounding sound bars of all time, yet it's gone 2 generations behind in connectivity .
Dunno what people at Samsung are thinking .
The much Older and less pompous sound bar Q800T is miles ahead in simple application handling such as Alexa . 
While the Q950A has the hardware required to be the chosen Alexa Driver ( speaker) for the room or series . Samsung has left out the connectivity on purpose ( without informing the end user) . Weird really. All it would take is for Samgung to send connectivity details to Amazon Alexa to include the Q950A as in Alexa chosen Speaker for the room ... but they have chosen not to.

With most Bose soundbars and with the earlier launched Q800T, one can make them the primary speaker for music in a room, however due to Samsung not sending the name of the Q950T, A and B Soumdbars to Alexa, one cannot use these as a primary Alexa Speaker for Music.

You have to say the whole name of the Speaker for Alexa to play music in that room on that device ...
With the Q800T all I have to do is make it a primary Alexa Speaker of a room and in that room when I say Alexa play music...
It plays on the Speaker
