I have a Raspberry PI model B+ and I was thinking of integrating it to Alexa Voice Service. So I was able to manage my Raspberry PI and Alexa Voice Service until the part that Alexa says hello. In order to achieve this I used also PC108 media USB external sound card. So I’m getting both input and output from my plug-in microphone or my mini jack audio output to speaker. The thing is that something is missing in order to work .What do I have to do in order to make Alexa listen ?
Thank you in advance.

At re:Invent 2016 they had a workshop on doing this. Take a look at the slides from the session and the workshop instructions. We used a simple USB microphone and sound is built into the Pi. The sample app is still being updated so it should be good to go.
This was with a Pi3 but the basics should still be the same.
