Amazon echo does not show up as output device after upgraded to Big Sur 11.3.1

Hi,

After upgraded to Big Sur, my Amazon Echo does not show up as an output device for Sound. The bluetooth shows it is connected and I heard the Echo reported it was connected to the laptop.

Anyone has the same issue?

Thanks

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.3

Connect Mac mini to Echo dot via 3.5mm Aux Is it possible to connect the echo dot to Mac mini via 3.5mm cable? I can easily connect it via bluetooth but the interference is awful (that's also annoying - not sure why its so bad - the echo is on top of the Mac mini!). So I wanted a wired connection. But it doesn't play music - its muted. Not sure how to use it as a speaker for the Mac mini. Any ideas anyone? thanks

Connecting Amazon Echo Dot with MBP I'm traveling and was using the Echo Dot as a speaker for watching Hulu and listening to news. It worked fine for weeks and then quit. On bluetooth, it says it is still connected but the only audio speakers that work is on my MBP. Alexa told me to use the Alexa app to rectify the problem but my computer doesn't have an Alexa app. It's not available on Apple App Store and on Amazon website, it tells me I already have it and there is no options available to download it. So, I tried restarting the computer and unplugging the Echo Dot to reset them both and no dice. I also made three attempt to solve the problem with Amazon's customer support and I keep getting disconnected. They did tell me there is no Alexa app for MBP. Frustrated. I'm about ready to pitch this thing and buy a Home Pod. Anyone with any ideas?

cannot use bose mini II soundlink After using the MBP with M1 cpu, my bose speaker (bose mini II soundlink) could not be shown as an output of sound even if it has connected with Mac by bluetooth. The Bluetooth could show the device a few seconds. But Sound does not show the device. After a few seconds, the device disconnects from the MBP automatically. I'm wondering if anyone meets the same situation. And how should I fix this problem. The OS version is 11.2.2.

Hello hsun10.

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We understand that you no longer see your Amazon Echo as an available device for audio output. We will be glad to assist.

Let's reset the SMC to see if that helps:
