Since Ekiga 2.0.4 ALSA works fine for me. First, don't use ALSA driver 1.0.11*! (Upgrade your kernel or driver modules) I'm using the Gentoo versions of "Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.12rc1" (Kernel 2.6.18), alsa-lib 1.0.14, alsa-headers 1.0.14 and alsa-utils 1.0.14, opal 2.2.4, pwlib 1.10.3 and Ekiga 2.0.4. With the following asound.conf I'm using just the "Default" devices for audio in Ekiga 2.0.4 (just rename your audio card): ----------------------------------- snip ----------------------------------- pcm.!default { type plug slave.pcm { type asym playback.pcm { type dmix ipc_key 1024 ipc_perm 0666 slave.pcm { type hw card "Audio" } } capture.pcm { type dsnoop ipc_key 1025 ipc_perm 0666 slave.pcm { type hw card "U0x46d0x8cb" } } } } ctl.!default { type hw card "Audio" } ----------------------------------- snap ---------------------------------- Renne _______________________________________________ ekiga-list mailing list ekiga-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-list
