Love the demo. I am trying to get this to run on my Ubuntu 16.04 VMWare insstance. It looks like it is going to work and Watson Says "Hi there... I am awake." but then it does not wait for me to reply and goes to the command prompt with no errors.. Any idea of what May be happening?

Hey @jdellaria my gut says it's an audio config issue, so, silly question -- does the microphone on your Ubuntu VM work at all? Can you record something? Both @rhagarty and I have used OSX for our demos -- we outlined some of the issues we found with audio configuration here: https://github.com/IBM/tjbot-sports-buddy#troubleshooting

Yes. I can record Mp3, ogg and wav files by using audio-recorder. The audio quality seems to be rather good. Is there a particular format or device you are looking for? The devices that work for recording are "ES1371/Creative Labs CT2518/ES1373 (Microphone)", "System's default device" and "user defined audio source"

Hello @jdellaria - I've updated https://github.com/IBM/tjbot-sports-buddy#troubleshooting with some mic tests and fixes. Please let me know if this fixes your issue.
