Thank you again. -ARCKEDA That's because OSS by itself doesn't support more than one channel at a time. You need to support virtual channels (a FreeBSD only feature AFAIK) by entering in the following lines in /etc/sysctl.conf: hw.snd.maxautovchans = 20 # Adjust to fit the number of simultaneous sound channels you want enabled at once. -Garrett I don't think that multiple sound channels are the problem. You see, in the port, there is only one sound device I can choose, even though my headset outputs to /dev/dsp and gets input from /dev/dsp1, so that I can only talk or hear, not both at the same time. The linux build will not even let me call anyone or recieve calls, not even the call testing service. Please feel free to tell me any thing that you think might help. -ARCKEDA Yes, it's most likely the problem if you can't play multiple audio sources at once. Just please try my suggestion before saying it's not possible. -Garrett I am afraid Don't be afraid, we'll _try_ to help you... that playing multiple audio sources is not my problem, ...but without actually doing some real (recommended) actions and show us the result you'll stay with your problems. Did you do what Garrett had suggested? the problem is I don't have the option to select more than one source at a time in the Skype native port. In the linux build, I have that option, but I can't call or receive calls from anyone. Besides that I'd like to mention that the current default port is linux_base-fc4. The port you have even doesn't exist at current FreeBSD ports tree. Please, read /usr/ports/UPDATING (at least 20060616: AFFECTS: users of emulation/linux_base-*) and show us the result.

WBR One thing other than that though. Not all cards support virtual channels (or hardware mixing as it's referred to with ALSA), so you might be stuck with purchasing another sound card. Just make sure you don't purchase a Creative X-Fi card ;). -Garrett ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

How would this cause Skype to take my voice from one device and output to another? If you could explain your answer a little more, I would appreciate it, thank you. -ARCKEDA - We won't tell.
