Beginners • Raspberry Pi 500 & Bluetooth Speakers

I just got my Pi 500, and I have it hooked up to a monitor that has no speakers.

I want to connect it to my Amazon Echo Dot 4th Gen. with Premium Sound.

After Googling it and trying many different methods, it is never seen so it can't connect..

Any suggestions?

This seems like it would be a very common thing for many people to want to do,especially since the Pi 500 has no audio out. I know I can get a USB sound card, but I'd rather go the wireless route and use my Echo Dot since it sounds good and I already have it.
