Voice remote pro 2nd edition won't turn samsung tv on/off...no volume also

I can't get this new remote to control the volume or turn the tv on/off.  My old roku remote works fine, but the new one won't "pair" with either the ir and hdmi-cec setup.

The tv is samsung (I also use a sonos soundbar and not the tv sound) and the tv's anynet+ is and has been set up and works with old remote.

Any suggestions?

Side note: I got this new pro remote because of the backlight and I did see that it didn't have a headphone jack before I bought. GD that sucks. I was excited that it was rechargeable, since my headphones drain the battery relatively quickly, but I guess that's moot now...

    Found solution. Select IR and use Westinghouse TV codes.

        This is appreciated, mushytracy1.

        Rest assured that we will forward this to the appropriate team for further investigation. Once we've been notified of updates from the team, we will make sure to let you know.

        In the meantime, you may use your old remote or the Roku mobile app as an alternative to your physical remote, as we are still working on this. The Roku mobile app works well with your Roku Ultra and has a private listening feature. 

        Your continuous patience and understanding are highly appreciated.

        Best regards,
        Carly
