Alexa is connected to my computer via Bluetooth, and everything says it's working fine and connected properly both on my PC and Echo. However, when I try to play audio, no sound happens.When I have my audio mixer up, with Echo selected as my audio device and the sound turned all the way up, the mixer bars weren't moving at all.
When 'dinging' around on it with my mouse, it didn't show any sound (as it normally does when you ding on the volume bar, as it makes the system sound so you can hear what the volume is going to be).When I opened a YouTube video with the volume turned all the way up, there is no movement on the volume indicator. I forget what the circumstances were (sorry, and now I can't recreate it) but at one point, even though sound was going that should have shown a waveform pattern, the volume indicator was at EXACTLY 50%.I'm fairly computer literate, but I'm not very network literate (I learned computers in the 80's as a child and have found it hard to keep up with all the new advances).

I'm not sure when the trouble started. Well, triaging device issues hasn't changed a whole lot since the '80's, so you're in luck.;) The process remains the same: reboot everything and check all components separately, preferably with different devices. For example: if you disconnect the Echo from Bluetooth and stream Spotify/Pandora/TuneIn/Prime Music, does the Echo's speaker work fine? Does sound on the computer work on its own, through internal speakers or headphones?
Do you have another device to test the Bluetooth unit with? (In my experience, those cheap Bluetooth dongles don't tend to last very long.) Are all relevant drivers current on the computer? Checking these sorts of things should help you narrow down where the problem is.

You can try removing the device from in the bluetooth settings. You may also need to go into Device Manager and remove any driver associated with the device. It may not have paired as an appropriate A2DP device. After removing the device from settings you can try re-pairing the echo and see if that alleviates your issue. While looking for new devices in the bluetooth settings I would suggest giving the device a moment to update the information it receives from the echo before attempting to pair. Not giving the computer enough time to update the correct information may cause a bad pair. You may also need to change the default playback device in the audio menu( there may be an option to change the levels of the device by going to the properties menu within the audio playback device menu ).
