Finally, by starting and stopping and unplugging and replugging, voilą! Dot and stereo connected.
Which didn't mean that the music I told Alexa to play actually played through the stereo. That took another round of stopping and starting. But, OK, I got it to work, everything's copacetic. Except Alexa decided to quit playing after ten minutes or so. When I got it playing again, despite Alexa insisting it was connected, it used the Dot speaker. Rinse and repeat, and again it stops after a few songs.

Probably a good thing Bezos's giant sex toy looking spaceship he rode up to suborbital space wasn't using Alexa for control!
In December I bought an Echo Studio and tried to get it to connect and work with my Fire TV Cube, but Alexa kept disconnecting and trashing the system. It would work a few days then quit again. Plenty of reboots took place. After a few weeks I returned the Studio while I was still within the 30 day window. I actually have more luck using Apple Music with Echos than I do Amazon Music. I finally cancelled Amazon Music and went with Apple Music instead, even though I don't own any Apple HomePods.
