Samsung Soundbar HW-Q70 No Longer Works Via Alexa. Any Ideas?

Samsung HW-Q80R Stopped working with Alexa about two weeks ago

My Samsung HW-Q80R Soundbar stopped working two weeks ago. I used to be able to say “Alexa, play music on soundbar” and it would play on the soundbar. It looks like the Smartthing skill was updated about 2 weeks ago as well so I am not sure if that had something to do with it. I’ve tried disabling and re-enabling the skill, deleted all the devices in the Alexa Smartthings skills to have it rediscover. It sees the Soundbar as a speaker and a switch but still wont play music. Any advice is appreciated, pretty frustrating for this to happen on a pretty expensive soundbar and marketing that says it works with Alexa.

I think you are asking the same…
