No, it just cuts off in the middle of a song.? On 9/3/2024 2:57 PM, Josh Luthman wrote: Does it stop at the end of a song?? That seems like a frequency issue if you Google (search) this.

Does Alexa only play music from Amazon, or does it go to your audio streamer of preference? I have no idea. I like to play music from our in-house media server. bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 9/3/2024 7:22 AM, Nate Burke wrote: Good question, I'll have to find out.?

I have a business customer that has 2 wifi Alexa speakers in his office. He uses them to play music, somehow they must sync together because they both play the same thing.? About a week ago, he started complaining that the music runs for a few minutes, then stops.? Can't find any connectivity issues from the WAN side, so I went to his shop and verified that yes, if you tell alexa to play smooth jazz, it will play it for 3-4 minutes, then just abruptly stop.? I don't see any connectivity issues when it happens, My laptop stays connected to the WIFI and is pinging 8.8.8.8 without issue.? And even if there is a blip, I'd presume that there's some level of caching that it would buffer across.? The Customer already replaced his router, and said that it did not fix the issue. If the speakers lose sync with each other, would that abruptly stop them???? I'm not sure what else to troubleshoot, short of getting a set of them and trying to replicate it.? Which I sure would run for weeks on end without an issue. -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
