If you've got Alexa set up for it, you can stream music to all your connected devices even if they are in different rooms.
However, with all the interconnecting parts, there are bound to be some issues. This guide will help you resolve them.
Multi-Room Music will not work over Bluetooth, so if you have a Bluetooth speaker paired with the Echo, you'll need to connect the two using the 3.5mm jack.

- Move your Echo device away from walls, metal objects, and other sources of possible interference (such as microwave ovens or baby monitors).
