I submitted a ticket about this using the Feedback option from my WiiM Pro Plus, but I don't seem to be able to get noticed or receive an answer. Is there some magical spell or sacrificial ritual one must do to receive a ticket reply? I've submitted 3 so far with no joy. :)

Anyway, what I would like to do is to be able to adjust Alexa's speaking voice volume independently of the overall WiiM volume. If I have music playing from any source at a reasonable level to fill the room, but not overly loud, and use the Voice Remote to ask Alexa a question, the speaking volume is considerably lower than the music output, almost muffled sounding. Is it possible to have the Alexa speaking volume level the same as the music volume level somehow? Obviously I can increase the overall volume to hear Alexa better, but then that makes the music output way too loud of course.

If there is no option to adjust Alexa's speaking volume independently, then I would like to suggest this as a future feature addition please.

As mentioned previously, you can’t control Alexa’s volume and music volume independently. However, unless you have your WiiM device set to fixed volume, you can use the WiiM remote mic to ask Alexa to change the overall volume of your WiiM device, thereby controlling both Alexa’s voice and music audio volume. But again, not separately.

As an aside if you look in the Alexa app, while WiiM devices might appear there under echo&alexa-enabled devices, they don’t have a volume display under their device settings like real echos do.
 
Which app, WiiM or Alexa, is not responding to volume commands?
My WiiM is set for line level output so those volume controls don't work, and asking Alexa to lower its own volume, or changing the Alexa volume within the Alexa app, just changes the volume on my echo's internal speaker. I think the solution is just to unpair the echo from my WiiM. I don't really need to hear it through my stereo - although it's nice that it mutes the volume of what's playing, but it just seems a bit louder than I'd like it
