Do you have a different power adapter that you could plug into the Echo Show as a test - you might have a switching power supply powering the Echo Show that is beginning to fail. Try moving the Fire and the Show farther apart (counter intuitive, I know, but we're trying to see if one may be causing interference to the other). Does the Show have a corded audio input (I don't have one so I don't know)? If so, do you have the appropriate cord to connect your Fire to the Show (therefore bypassing bluetooth)?

What we're trying to do is isolate things. Is it the Fire? Is it the Show? Is it the connection between them (bluetooth)? Is it interference caused by other nearby devices? Is it a bad audio file? Is it a bad power supply?

I know the Echo Show isn't the issue since this has only happened with this device. It is from an audio on the Scribd app. I can try another file on the Fire to see if it has the same sound quality issue, I hadn't tried that (yet). I can also try it streaming instead of as a downloaded file and see if that makes a difference.

Strangely, my small phone suddenly started working again. It had drained its battery when stuck in the "unroot" menu so I charged it. I don't see this phone lasting much longer in general but at least there's apparently still life in it.
