Amazon is phasing out voice control support for the auxiliary input on older Echo speakers. Previously, users could issue commands like 'Alexa, play' or 'Alexa, pause' to manage audio streaming through the 3.5mm port.
Following reports from users on platforms like Reddit, Amazon has confirmed that this feature is being discontinued. Owners of these devices must now manually control their audio playback, as voice integration for line-in inputs is no longer supported.
