Echo Dot - Music true Jack and Alexa from internal speaker?

[roywaarts]

Hi,

This is Roy from the netherlands, sorry for my bad engl.
So i thinking of buying the Echo dot and connect it to my home HiFi stereo installation with je Jack cable.
The thing is... I want to play music true the HiFi set but if i want to ask something i want the Echo Dot to respond.
For example.. If i ask for the wheater i dont want to turn on my HiFi set to hear the answer, but if i want to play music.. i want to hear it to my HiFi set.

Is that possible?
Thank you

Roy

No, I don't think you can have both at the same time 
Plugging a jack disables Echo's internal speaker.
See this thread for similar question.

[Alexa in Canada]

For control of Hifi devices separate from Alexa’s speaker, you will need something that can integrate with Alexa but send Infared signals to your hifi, like your remotes.  I use Harmony Hub for this purpose, it works well as a bridge between Alexa and many other devices. I can say Alexa, play CDs or Turn on TV the sound all goes through my stereo, but when I ask Alexa for the weather she answers through the Echo speaker. 

I hope that helps.
