Microphone strikethrough when AlexaPi active

[AirBurn1]

Not sure what I'm doing wrong here. AlexaPi doesn't seem to be listening. I ran through all of the audio and debug and couldn't figure it out. Below is some info

Output of the audio debugging script.

I have the same problem.

I also have this issue, I have to keep stopping and starting the service to get it to work, or reboot the pi.

So it obviously triggers. Maybe it only doesn't play the yes back.

Microphone icon has a strikethrough

That's probably only AlexaPi eating your mic, because you don't have PulseAudio installed so multiple apps could use it at the same time. There is no issue there.

I get this a lot too... it just seems to bomb out after a while.
