// For this one, I did run the chmod command on the Pi in order to enable the response. I also re-tested the mic and speaker, both of which worked fine.

I ran both of these tests over ssh.

Problem description:

• I install everything, run "sam test microphone" and "sam test speaker", and everything works fine
• I install the demo, and then one of the assistants (with a standalone multiplication app created by Snips team), and encounter the same problem each time:
• I run "sam watch" to get logs, say the wake word, and see that it is watching.
• I make sure to phrase the question exactly as written
• No response happens
• Eventually, I hit ctrl+C to exit the demo

I hit this wall before, when I tried to run a demo on the MATRIX Voice long ago, after installing the one that flashes red LEDs in response to my voice.

Here are similar descriptions of issues, from the forum, none of which seem to be resolved:

• https://community.matrix.one/t/solved-microphone-issues/1450/4 – seemed to be happening on Alexa
• https://community.matrix.one/t/alexa-with-matrix-creator/1079
• Here's one that seems to have been solved, also on Alexa – https://community.matrix.one/t/solved-matrix-voice-and-alexa-sdk-no-audio-output-issue/1454/19 – but the command they suggested returns "gst-launch-1.0: command not found", which is not too surprising.
