A bug in Amazon's Alexa smart speakers has caused some devices to repeatedly play "lalala" for minutes at a time, often during user interactions. Amazon is aware of the issue.
Amazon Echo smart speakers running Alexa Plus have been affected by a recurring bug that causes the voice assistant to play "lalala" continuously for extended periods, sometimes interrupting conversations. The issue has been widely reported on Reddit over recent weeks across various Echo speaker models.
When the bug occurs, Alexa appears unaware of its own behavior. Users have shared video evidence of the speakers emitting the repetitive sound, raising concerns about the device's reliability and unexpected audio output.
Amazon has acknowledged the problem with Alexa Plus and stated that it is investigating the cause. The company is reportedly working on a fix to prevent these occurrences. Further details on the timeline for a resolution have not yet been provided.
The incident highlights potential challenges with the stability of smart home technology. Customers are awaiting a prompt resolution from Amazon to restore normal functionality.
