Just tried the latest version on a pc running ubuntu 14.04. It says hello before exiting with the following message: line 498.. inp = alsaaudio.PCM(alsaaudio.PCM_CAPTURE, alsaaudio.PCM_NORMAL, config['sound']['device']) alsaaudio.ALSAAudioError: Device or resource busy [plughw:1]

Are you certain about Card 1 (or is it Card 0, in which case it will be plughw:0 in your config file.

Also, exit GUI and try again in command prompt.

Thanks, I am running this in a terminal already. Am I supposed to configure the audio stream somewhere?

sudo nano /etc/opt/AlexaPi/config.yaml

ok I set it to "default" and it works nicely now. Cheers.
