Abbreviated answer from Alexa

[Eltimbola]

When I ask Alexa a question, its spoken response is abbreviated. It doesn't say the first part of the first word, so instead of "Songs by the Pet Shop Boys" it will say "s by the Petshop Boys"

Have you tried unplugging the device for a few minutes?

Are you connected to a Bluetooth speaker? If so, it may be that the speaker is switching to a standby mode when there is no audio and takes a bit of time to come on when Alexa starts speaking and you would need to consult the manual for the speaker to see if there is a way to disable this.

This is the 2nd time I read this problem here. Don't know if I had same prob. Probably not. Or I just won't care.
