Amazon Echo (Alexa) Changes VirtualMidiSynth settings!

It took me a while to find why MIDI was not playing.   A few days ago I got an Amazon Echo and connected it by Bluetooth to my PC.

The fix is easy, reselect your PC speakers:

Well, I don't think Alexa "directly" changed VMS settings, because they are stored in a custom file (VirtualMIDISynth.conf).

I suppose VMS was previously set to default​​​​​​, right?

In this case it will use the default Windows output device, which could have been changed by Alexa.

Yes, changing the settings to default fixed the issue casued by Amazno Echo. Try it once.
