Introduction
If you’re having trouble playing music on your Alexa-enabled device, there are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue. First, make sure that you’re connected to the internet and that your device has the latest software update. Then, try asking Alexa to play a song, artist, or genre from a different music service. If Alexa still can’t play music, contact your internet service provider or the manufacturer of your device for help.
The Problem
If you’re having trouble getting your Alexa-enabled device to play music, there are a few things you can try. First, make sure that the Amazon Music app is open on your mobile device or tablet and that you’re signed in with the same account that you used to set up your Alexa device. Next, check the volume on both your mobile device and your Alexa-enabled device. If the volume is turned all the way down on either one, music won’t play.
If you’re still having trouble, try restarting both your mobile device and your Alexa-enabled device. If that doesn’t work, try uninstalling and then reinstalling the Amazon Music app on your mobile device.
The Solution
There are a few things you can do to fix this problem. First, make sure that the Alexa app is up to date. Second, check your internet connection to make sure that it is strong and stable. Third, check the settings in the Alexa app to make sure that music is turned on. Fourth, check the settings in the Amazon Music app to make sure that Alexa is enabled. Finally, if all else fails, restart your device and try again.
How to Set Up Alexa
If you’re having trouble getting Alexa to play music, there are a few things you can try. First, make sure that the Alexa app is set up and logged in with the same account that you use for your music service. To do this, open the Alexa app and go to Settings > Music & Media. Then, select your music service and enter your login information.
Next, check that your device is connected to the internet. To do this, go to Settings > Device Options and look for the Wi-Fi connection icon. If it’s not lit up, try restarting your router and devices.
If you’re still having trouble, contact customer support for your music service or Amazon customer support for help.
How to Use Alexa
Alexa is a voice controlled assistant that is designed to play music, answer questions, control smart devices in your home, and much more. In order to use Alexa, you will need to connect it to a compatible device such as an Amazon Echo or Dot. Once you have connected your Alexa device, you can start using it by giving it commands such as “play music” or “turn on the lights”. If you are having trouble getting your Alexa device to work, there are a few things you can try:
-Make sure that your Alexa device is turned on and connected to the internet.
-Say the wake word (such as “Alexa”) followed by a command.
-Make sure that your speaker is not muted.
-If you’re still having trouble, try restarting your Alexa device.
FAQs

Conclusion

Comments
Some customers have reported that their Amazon Echo devices will not play music after the most recent update. There are a few possible explanations for this:
-The device may be having trouble connecting to the internet. Check your internet connection and try restarting your Echo device.
-It’s possible that the update introduced a bug that is preventing the device from playing music. Try uninstalling and reinstalling the music streaming app you’re using.
-If you’re using an older model of the Echo, it may not be compatible with the new update. Try connecting your Echo to an external speaker to see if that works.
