Here an update: After some time – music playing via LMS or not – the Echo Dot’s sound wont get through (squeezelite paused) while being still connected. After reconnecting „disconnect speaker…connect..“ it works well again like playing via LMS, pause, asking Alexa, playing via LMS again.

Remark: Config is directly play to Max2Play, not via LMS.

I’m not sure who’s responsible yet – Echo Dot or the bluetooth setup.

Would you recommend to try to connect/play via LMS?

Just after posting this, I got it working.

I told the Echo Dot (Alexa) to „disconnect speaker“…waiting some seconds…“connect speaker“ – actually in German. It seems that’s it. I am not even sure, if I had to install the BETA for this. Will check the next days with a fresh setup.

Well done Stefan (and max2play team)!

Hi bluetooth users,

I am trying to connect the Echo Dot as player to RPi 3 with Hifiberry DAC+. I used the latest image and update to max2play BETA (after installing bluetooth).

The Echo Dot says it is connected but the sound output is still coming from the Echo. The connection with an iPad to the max2play device works well.

Here my DEBUG info:
