Want to blast your PC audio through your Alexa? It's surprisingly simple! Get ready to turn your smart speaker into a powerful sound system. You'll be grooving to your tunes in no time.
Bluetooth Bliss
First, make sure your PC's Bluetooth is switched on. Then, tell Alexa to enter pairing mode. Just say, "Alexa, pair".
Now, head to your PC's Bluetooth settings. You should see your Alexa device listed there. Click it and select “Pair”.
If asked for a PIN, try "0000" or "1234". Boom! Your PC and Alexa are now connected via Bluetooth.
Selecting the Sound
Go to your PC's sound settings. Find the playback devices section. Choose your Alexa device as the default speaker.
Any sound from your PC will now play through Alexa. Crank up the volume and enjoy the show!
The Aux Input Alternative
Another way is with an aux cable. This is old school, but super reliable!
Plug one end of the aux cable into your PC's headphone jack. Plug the other end into the Alexa's aux input.
Tell Alexa, “Alexa, connect to aux.” Your PC's audio will magically flow through Alexa.
Why Bother? The Fun Factor!
Why go through all this trouble? Because it's awesome! Imagine hearing your favorite game's soundtrack blasting through your Alexa.
Or, think about watching a movie on your PC. The sound fills the room, thanks to your Alexa's audio prowess.
It’s like upgrading your entire entertainment experience without spending a fortune! You can even ask Alexa to control the volume for you.
Beyond Music: More Alexa Adventures
It’s not just for music. Podcasts sound incredible through a bigger speaker.

Video calls become clearer and more engaging, too. Everyone can hear the conversation, even from across the room.
Troubleshooting Tips

If you’re using Bluetooth, try disconnecting and reconnecting. Sometimes a fresh start is all it needs. Double-check the volume on both your PC and Alexa.
