Unfortunately no. Skills are not informed when only the Alexa portion of a command is said - we have to wait for the full command and thats already likely messed up by loud music in the background anyway. An exception is that audio from an Echo is muted the moment Alexa is said but its not the skill doing that, its the Echo itself. It would be possible to lower the volume on the assumed player as soon as a LaunchRequest is received so that the real command portion has a better chance of being understood. But thats also tricky because the player volume is not the only thing in the equation (the amp setting is unknown, for example). So mute is then better than duck. To be honest, just saying Alexa, mute livingroom to LMSlite before issuing a MediaServer command is effective and less likely to have unwanted side effects. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ philchillbill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=68920 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111016
