Alexa test doesn't play sound


I am creating my first skill for Alexa following a Youtube channel "Alexa Developers" of the course "Building Alexa Skills from Scratch". However, after reaching the test level, I find that the skill responds with answers on screen but there is no sound at all.


Solution

  • In order to implement sounds, you should try using SSML features in your custom alexa skills. https://developer.amazon.com/docs/custom-skills/speech-synthesis-markup-language-ssml-reference.html
