How do I connect my Echo Dot to my JBL 5.1 soundbar
Echo Dots can also be connected to your soundbar through an AUX (3.5mm) cable. This is because Dots are equipped with an AUX output port, and most soundbars have an AUX input. This is an easy, wired connection that is possible with a soundbar, as long as your soundbar and Dot are near one another (or you have a long AUX cable).
Here’s how to make your wired connection through an AUX cable:
Get a 3.5mm AUX cord. Make sure it is a good length
Open up your Amazon Alexa app on your smartphone
Select ‘Devices’ from the Main Menu Settings
Select your Dot by its name
Select ‘AUX Audio’, then ‘Line In or Line Out’
Connect your AUX cord to your Echo and your soundbar
Now you are connected through your AUX (3.5mm) cord, and any streaming or listening on your Echo Dot will come through your soundbar as long as both are powered on. If you ever want to listen to your Echo Dot through another device, simply disconnect the AUX cable from your soundbar.
