I would first like to say sorry Garret, my previous questions were not in good detail.
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 headset
will 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:

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.) Now, I downloaded the Linux static binary
with QT compiled in from the skype website (www.skype.com) and tried it
on my computer, if I go into the options in that one, I see this:

You may want to know why I am even writing this if I can just use the Linux
Skype, well, I am writing this because the Linux build will not let me call
anyone:

it will just keep saying connecting, and nothing ever happens, I can however
see who is online at the moment:

So, my question is, how can I either make the Skype port let me use two devices
or, allow the Linux Skype to let me call people and receive calls.
I think that about sums it up.
Thank you.
