raspberry pi 4 model b

Python release (python3 --version):

Python 3.7.3 (default, Dec 20 2019, 18:57:59) 

Description of problem:

While I run AlexaPi in debug mode it works fine.
**I need to call Alexa a few times before she gets to wake**, but still she's working.
When I try to use "sudo systemctl start AlexaPi.service" there are no errors,
but AlexaPi will no longer answer to me. 

Expected:

I expect Alexa to work also in normal mode, not only in debug mode!

Problem-relevant config.yaml entries:

I used [reccomended solution for PA and config.yaml](https://github.com/alexa-pi/AlexaPi/wiki/Audio-setup-&-debugging).

Additional info:

I'm using a jabra 510 as external device, connected with USB.
It's working, I can play my own voice and even play Alexa's records
(from /tmp/alexapi_runtime_xxx[...]/record).

Additional question: seems like I can't play music from amazon,
but also I can't set a simple timer. What am I doing wrong?
