    Stream the sound from your PC to an UPnP/DLNA device

  • Firstly, you need to install Stream What You Hear ( https://www.streamwhatyouhear.com/ ) to transmit your PC audio as a webstream. Then enable the Alexa MyMedia skill and set up a playlist to play that webstream. Finally, put an echo into a smart home device/room group, whose preferred speaker setting is set to the echo(s) you want to play on. Then ask the echo in the room group to ask MyMedia to play that playlist and, after a short delay as it buffers, your PC audio should play on the preferred echo(s). You might be able to set that request up in a routine with a customised action to run on the room echo so that you can trigger it from the Alexa app directly.
