    I got it working with a little help from the AlexaPi gitter.im group. Changing the output handler from vlc to sox was the answer I needed.

          Yup the arecord does produce a wav file for me that i can playback. But Alexa doesn’t respond anymore…she did a few times…maybe i ticked her off now…lol

              @cyberphox @johnnyboy These issues are definitely AlexaPi issues you are having. If your looking for help i would post on the Alexa-pi/alexapi github or talk on the gitter mentioned above. They will be able to help you for sure as I don’t know that much about the audio, mine just seemed to work for some reason

                I’m sure it’s probably the PS Eye mic and the usb mic you have coming (that I ordered too) will work fine. For example, when I go into aslamixer and try to hit f6 to change to the Eye to increase the volume, it crashes with an invalid argument error…

                    @johnnyboy lol…the microphone icon is back now with a slash through it and I’m not even being greeted with a hello when the Pi boots now…off to the gitter maybe!

                      @cyberphox are you using any other sound modules? AlexaPi does not work with MMM-Voice. Found that out the hard way. I had to wipe my SD card and start over.
