Can’t hear Alexa through play 5
Hooked up play 5 to my echo dot through line in but Alexa’s voice is really low. I tried everything. Need answers.

Ok wait do you have Alexa skill enabled. If so you don’t want the play5 in the skill. I may have incorrectly told you you were wrong earlier.
Since you have the dot hooked to the input of the play:5 it is in fact music as far as Sonos is concerned. If you have the alexa skill enabled on that speaker (which you shouldn’t) then it will duck the “music”.
Go into the alexa app and under smart home delete the Play5 from the list. That will remove the ducking on the play:5 (which you don’t want enabled in skill anyhow because you have a dot hook e to it).
Problem is your using line in and skill. Skill is meant for when you don’t wire it to the speaker (or my dots aren’t hooked to speaker so amazon alexa voice comes from dots but they will send music requests to the speaker).
I personally would disable the Sonos skill in alexa completely if you want it wired to dot. As the only other speaker setup you have is the playbar all the Sonos skill in alexa is going to do is allow casting songs by voice to it (but probably Duck on you way to often). You can always have it play from your play:5 line in to get voice control when needed.
