Alexa no sound

[QuadDepo]

After playing around with it I finally got passed the cookie stuff.

Now i try doing a command or tts I do get a response in the terminal but Alexa doesn't talk at all.

core-ssh:/config# ./alexa_remote_control.sh -d "Alexa bedroom" -e goodmorning
sending cmd:goodmorning to dev:Alexa bedroom type:A3S5BH2HU6***

This is what i get back. I did read somewhere that I'm not the only one that have/used to have this issue but I could see a fix for it really quick.

Getting this also. Appears to accept the commend, but no sound out of the echo. Would appreciate some pointers.

I get exactly the same.

For me, just using the password didn't work. So I used the "Export Cookies" extension in Firefox to save the amazon.com cookies and that seems to have resolved the login issue.

Now "./alexa_remote_control.sh -a" works fine and lists out my Echo devices.

But any other commands don't generate sound. I get the same output as @QuadDepo

[ACrazyConcept]

I have the same issue.

Edit: Created a new cookie and then it worked.

[borisfeldman]

UPDATE: It works for me now.

After seeing @ACrazyConcept's note, I tried again and it still didn't work. Same error message.

Then I re-read the directions and realized that I had gone to http://amazon.com when the right URL to get the cookies from is http://alexa.amazon.com.

[QuadDepo]

Have been redoing the steps for around 4 times now but still no success :(

Good to hear your guys are making it work.

What kind of browser are you using? and how are you loading in the alexa.amazon.com website?

[borisfeldman]

I used a new install of Firefox with the Export Cookies extension.

Went to alexa.amazon.com and exported the cookies for “amazon.com” (one of the options) which included a couple of alexa.amazon.com entries.

I then transferred the file to my Ubuntu VM and copied it to /tmp/.alexa.cookie

[QuadDepo]

Still no luck. :/

[AdminGSUK]

Got mine working now. I couldn't get the cookie right because Firefox kept crashing. Used Firefox on another machine and went to alexa.amazon.co.uk. Copied the cookie to the Raspberry PI and now all working.

[QuadDepo]

Made a mutli-room group in the Alexa app and tried deleting it using the CLI and also this is not working :(

response:

same for me: cookie stuff ok but no sound...

[rtoralba1123]

I was able to run the ./alexa_remote.sh to all device and play the weather but it wouldn't make a sound with speak

what other component i need to install - pyhton - looking on the alexa_wrapper.sh file it has this path
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/bin:/usr/$
DIR="$( cd "$( dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" )" && pwd )"

Any advise ? thanks a lot

Hi,

I succeeded to log in and get the list of connected devices. But when I run a test, I have the following result:

sending cmd:speak:This_is_a_test to dev:Salon type:A7WXQPH584YP serial:G090RF048XXXXXXX customerid:A1A0581XXXXXXX
Sequence command: Alexa.Speak

Is the script still working or am I doing something wrong?

If it helps, I had the same issue, I used firefox (instead of chrome initially) to get cookies' content, it solved the issue !
