Nest Hub max wont connect to Samsung Q990b soundbar

[Denver8829]

Hi, 

I am going in to the settings of my Hub Max and selecting 'Default Speaker' in there I have selected Bluetooth pairing and have scanned. My soundbar appears but when selecting to pair with is keeps coming back with a message 'could not set default speaker' as a result doesn't let my Hub Max connect to the sound bar.

Has anyone got any suggestions?

Thanks

Hi folks,

Thanks for the help, @RachelGomez123.
 

@Denver8829, thanks for posting. I understand how important it is to use your preferred speaker when playing music. Let me help you with this. Check the steps below on how to link your soundbar to your Nest Hub Max.

Pair and connect a Bluetooth speaker and Google Nest or Home device

1. Turn on your Bluetooth speaker and make sure it’s in pairing mode. Press the pairing button on your Bluetooth speaker, if possible.
2. Open the Google Home app .
3. Make sure you're in the right home. The name of the home is at the top of the screen. To change homes, tap the arrow next to the home name.
4. Touch and hold your device's tile.
5. At the top right, tap Settings Audio.
   • If this is your first time to use Bluetooth on this device, tap Paired Bluetooth devices Enable pairing mode go back to Audio.
6. Tap Default music speaker Pair Bluetooth speaker. Your Google Nest or Home device will then scan for Bluetooth devices.
7. Tap the Bluetooth device once it appears on the screen Done.
8. Your Bluetooth device will now pair with your Google Nest or Home device.
