      @ezarlive my experience with using AlexaPi with a webcam was dismal. Are you also using the webcam for facial recognition? If so I think the video capture saturates the USB connection and leaves little left over for the microphone. I switched to using the Pi camera connected to the CSI header and a standalone USB microphone and my results are much better.

          @ezarlive Have you verified recording is working? If not, try this:
          https://zedic.com/raspberry-pi-usb-webcam-built-in-microphone/

          It helped me get my microphone working.

          Hope this helps!

            Do you really need alexapi? I use the code which was made available by amazon. [https://github.com/alexa/alexa-avs-sample-app](link url)
            Unless you need a specific alexapi module on MM2 you could try this one.
