Now this sounds like something I would try out.
Where have you seen this? Voice activated sounds good.
I would never crate him, it's been 5yrs, he'll go nut's.
I'm not a crate person. I trained him to have full access to our
home and I like it that way. He never touches anything.
I also think by putting my nightgown on his blanket in the
morning has helped him. I put one nightgown in the hamper
at night to keep my scent on it from the clothes in there
and take it out in the am and put it on his blanket. He's been
laying on it I can tell because it's wrinkled when I get home.
So far so good. I will look for this voice toy this weekend.
Also RR should be here tomorrow. Thanks again.

I saw the voice toy at PetSmart. It looked like a little ball with holes in it, and there were a few different sizes, and I think treats came out too or kibble
I liked someones suggestion of having someone come to the house to sit with him. Could you send him to "doggie daycare"? We're financially "tight" so we send Bandit once a week and since Nala was just spayed we are going to take her once a month (we don't have favorites, but Bandit just needs it more for the social aspect). Good luck!
Also, Bandit was our first dog and we obviously made many mistakes lol. He would hate being in his crate when we left and would cry...and cry....and cry. We just got Nala this summer and everytime we put her in her crate we put the radio on and it has helped SO much! I don't know if we did a better job of getting Nala used to her crate or she was just predisposed to dealing with being alone, but the radio helped A LOT. My friend also bought a few songs on Itunes for her dog, she calls it Raffi for dogs, and he does well with it.
