Title: Echo audio stops...must cycle power
Post by: iMav on September 05, 2016, 12:22:43 pm
A few months ago, my Echo started going mute.  It recognizes voice commands and volume up/down commands (as well as remote)...but the sound is just absent.  I have to cycle power...then it works for a few days, and then I have to cycle power again.

This has been happening consistently for two months now. (I've even done a few, full resets)

Anyone else seeing this behavior?

I've never had that happen, nor have I heard of it before.  Have you contacted Amazon support?

This is off the cuff but have you added a Skill which might affect the default volume level?

Nope.  The sound is just non-functional.  (and I don't really have much linked to the device)

Did this ever get resolved?
