Adjusting the volume on your Alexa device<\/a> or version of echo<\/a>, whether its a dot<\/a>, show<\/a> or couldn’t be simpler. I started off with “Alexa volume up” or “Alexa volume down”. There are variations on this like “Alexa, turn up\/down the volume” or “Alexa, louder\/quieter”. I tend to go for the option that requires the fewest number of words to be spoken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However you change set the volume more precisely with the “volume command”. I would use “Alexa volume 5” as opposed to a more formal “Alexa, set the volume to 5”. Maximum volume is 10 and depending on which Alexa device you are using you might have problems getting it turned back down again. For example when my Echo set is set to volume 10. I have to shout at the top of my voice and from not very far away to get it to comply. Most of the time it would be easier to manually turn the sound down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to volume you can adjust the way your music sounds by adjusting the bass and the treble. You can play around with commands such as “Alexa, turn up the bass\/treble,” “Alexa, set the bass\/treble to 6” or “Alexa, set the bass\/treble to maximum\/minimum.” To reset just say “Alexa, reset equalizer.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally this week. Amazon<\/a> have introduced a “Whisper” mode so that you can have some privacy or alternatively not wake up the whole house. Open the Alexa app<\/a> on your Android phone<\/a> or iPhone<\/a>. Tap the menu button on the top left of the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Select \u201cSettings.\u201d\nTap \u201cAlexa Account\u201d at the top of the screen.\nChoose \u201cAlexa Voice Responses.\u201dEnable the \u201cWhispered Responses\u201d mode. <\/pre>\n\n\n\n
When you whisper to Alexa<\/a>, it will whisper back.  Remember than you have to be close by your Alexa device<\/a>.  At present this only works in English.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
