I don't know about the Echo Tap, but the Dot, Echo and Echo Plus all have
volume controls. On the Echo Dot you have 4 circular indentations on the top,
if you think of a clock they are in the 12, 3, 6 and 9 o'clock positions.
Furthermore, if you are in front of your Echo Do so that where the cable is
plugged in is facing away from you (at the 12 o'clock position) then the
indentation right by the cable is volume up, across from it at the 6 o'clock
position is volume down.
On the Echo and Echo Plus you can turn the entire top of the device, it's about
the first half inch and it turns very easily. Clockwise is volume up and
counter clockwise is volume down.

You may have already tried this. Say "wake word. Volume 10" that will give
you maximum volume.

To hear what Alexa is saying, I have to hold the device about 2 inches from my
ear.

Yes, but for me having to walk to the device and having to tap it to listen
seems to take most of the convenience out of being able to just wake it up with
"Alexa" or "Echo" or whatever wake word you set. I recently changed the wake
word from Alexa to Echo at my Echo Dot which I keep at my office because one of
my employees is called Alex and pretty much every time I activated the intercom
on our phone system and called "Alex" the Echo would try to interpret what I
was saying next. It definitely seems to have problems distinguishing when you
say "Alex" instead of "Alexa".
Regards,
Sieghard

You could also use the Amazon Tap.

Besides purchasing a second Echo to have downstairs, there are a couple other
options:
First, you could purchase a third party battery which makes it as mobile as
your WiFi coverage allows.
Second, you could use an existing or purchase a bluetooth speaker, headphones,
etc. and listen anywhere within bluetooth range of your Echo. But you can't
really interact with your Echo without using something like the Echo remote
control.
