[recap of a problem often requoted recently on list] I happen to be blind and so can't examine your .png files. I also happen to be a very regular user of Skype (though on Windows) and FreeBSD (though an old version). First question: Why, after all the urging, do you not just try the hw.snd.maxautovchans option and see what happens? It doesn't take long to do this, and certainly not as long as it takes to retype your question with details. :) But maybe you aren't aware that having multiple channels can, at least afaik, allow device names like /dev/dsp0.0, /dev/dsp0.1, etc. If just setting maxautovchans doesn't let you use the same device name in both places, maybe you can use different ones after all. But I still think you have to set maxautovchans. Details from you remain below. > FREEBSD 6.0 STABLE > Using the linux_base-8 port. > -->I am using a USB headset, but have also tried one that plugs directly into my microphone and speaker slots on my computer. Now, since my USB headsetwill input sound from one device, and output from another, I am in a little problem. here is a picture of the options for headset in the skype port: > http://www.arckeda.org/Skype_port.png > > As you can see, there is only one device I can use for my headset, > (there is supposed to be a program called DSP highjacker for this, > but I would think that there would be a better way.)
