I am using the linux_base-8, if someone could tell me how I can start calling people it would be very useful, I have read maybe 2 articles about this on google and both tell me to install ports that no longer exist. > > 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 Thank you for your help, but I am not sure what you are telling me to do, are we talking about the ports or the linux build? 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.
