Hi Sarah,
Happy Christmas to you too.
I have my Dot plugged into a mixing desk in the same way and it is stereo,
so I suggest you may have a faulty cable.
All the best
Steve

Subject: [access-uk] Connecting Echo dot to old hifi
Hi All,
And a very merry Christmas to you all!!
I have an old amplifier and speakers which I'd like to be able to play music
on from the internet / my phone. I currently have a phono cable with a
3.5mm headphone jack on it which I've been using to manually connect to my
iPhone when I want to play music through it. I'd like however to be able to
do this wirelessly and so one of the thoughts I had was to connect an Echo
dot or similar device via the headphone jack to the amp. I've just tried it
and found that the audio from the Echo dot only comes out of one of my
speakers, does anyone know if the Echo dot's headphone socket is only
capable of mono?
I was also thinking I could get a Bluetooth audio receiver to do the similar
thing but I like the idea of being able to use an Echo dot or Google mini
to be able to play music via it.
Hope this all makes sense and someone can come up with some suggestions /
solutions.
I have tried looking on the specs of the Echo dot but can't find what I
need.
With very best wishes,
Sarah
