Overview
- Amazon, which confirmed the bug Tuesday, said the fault causes some Alexa devices to repeat the syllable “la” for minutes and that only a small number of Alexa Plus subscribers are affected.
- Users report the glitch can start during a normal conversation and then loop “la” or “lalala” for several minutes before stopping on its own in many cases.
- Amazon has not tied the problem to a specific update and the underlying cause remains unknown, though users on Reddit and other forums have speculated a recent software change may be linked.
- For now Amazon recommends standard troubleshooting steps including restarting the Echo, updating the Alexa app, checking Wi‑Fi, and resetting the device if other measures fail.
- This episode follows earlier strange Alexa audio faults reported this year and should be watched for broader patterns that could affect other devices or prompt a rapid software patch from Amazon.
