| Echo Show 5 with LineageOS and Kiosk/Voice Satellite | Works Local | Runs Kiosk Satellite on LineageOS; muting issue blamed on LineageOS audioSaved copyWhile my disappointment with VACA is what led me to create Voice Satellite and really dislike how it takes over everything in your HA, the muting issue is most likely LineageOS itself - it has an incredibly buggy audio HAL stack. That said, that has never happened in my Echo Show 5 w/LineageOS 18.1 running Kiosk/Voice Satellite. Excerpt saved from the Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-23. | Reddit comment · 2026-08 |
