Unhappy Amazon Alexa stopped working


I'm on Fire OS, a fork of Android.

I'm using a Fire HD 8, 10th generation.

I'm using Amazon Alexa 2.2.476712.0

When I call Alexa's name, nothing happens. I've tried setting the "wake word" and can find no such setting.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling by setting my app to the factory default version and again updating.

LQ is not the Amazon help desk.

Kindle Fire HD is a tablet sold by Amazon.
Fire OS is Amazon's proprietarized version of Android.
Amazon Alexa is entirely proprietary Amazon software.

You should be asking Amazon to support their products.
