Amazon disables Alexa voice commands for Echo AUX input on older speakers

Amazon has removed Alexa's voice control over the AUX input on several older Echo devices, including the Echo Plus 2nd Gen, Echo 3rd Gen, Echo Studio 1st Gen, and Echo 4th Gen. Commands like "Alexa, play from line in" no longer work, though the physical 3.5 mm AUX ports still function and users can still toggle AUX input manually through the Alexa app.

Amazon removes voice control for Echo's 3.5mm aux input

Amazon has confirmed it has discontinued the ability to use Alexa voice commands to play or pause audio through the 3.5mm aux input on older Echo devices, including the Echo Plus (2nd gen), Echo (3rd gen), Echo (4th gen), and Echo Studio (1st gen). The physical aux connection itself still works, and users can still control playback manually through the Alexa app or use Bluetooth pairing instead.
