There are several ways to control the volume of your Amazon Echo speaker.
Not only can you control the volume using the volume control on the device itself, but you can adjust the volume using voice commands and through the Alexa mobile app. For the most part, they all do the same thing, so you can use whichever method is most convenient.
Here’s how to make your Alexa speaker louder or softer.

How to make Alexa stronger or softer using voice commands
Often the easiest way to control the volume of your Alexa speaker is to tell it how high it should be.
You can tell Alexa to change her volume anywhere from zero to 10, where zero is muted. For example, you can say “Alexa, set the volume to 5” which is the 50 percent volume level of the device.
You can also say things like “Alexa, increase the volume by 2” or “Alexa, increase the volume by 30 percent.”
If you are not sure what the current volume is, you can say “Alexa, what is the current volume?”
How to make Alexa louder or softer using the speaker volume buttons
Every Amazon Echo device, be it an Echo speaker or an Echo Show, has physical volume controls.
Most devices have plus and minus buttons to set the volume. Some Echo speakers use a dial instead, rotate the dial on top of the device to adjust the volume.

How to make Alexa stronger or softer using the Alexa app
The Alexa app is without a doubt the least convenient way to change the volume.
There are two problems: You must navigate to your specific Alexa device in the app, which can be confusing. And Alexa may not allow you to change the volume unless you are currently playing music.
However, the app has an advantage: It allows you to change the volume from zero to 100, giving you much more precise control over the exact volume level.
one) Launch the Alexa app and tap “Devices” at the bottom right of the screen.
2) Tap “Echo and Alexa” in the upper left corner of the screen.

3) Find the Echo device you want to adjust and tap on it.
4) You should see an audio slider near the top of the page. Slide it left or right (softer or louder) to adjust the volume.
