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 I don't think that is the solution, I am sorry that I didn't make myself clear before, in the port of Skype I can only choose one device for talking, my headset receives input from /dev/dsp1 and sends to /dev/dsp, so I can only hear or listen, not both at the same time. In the linux build, I can not even call people, not even the Skype testing service. If you think of anything that could help, please tell me. -ARCKEDA --------------------------------- Looking for earth-friendly autos? Browse Top Cars by "Green Rating" at Yahoo! Autos' Green Center.
