I'm about ready to throw my whole box out the window and go buy a mac or something that Just Works. I have an Asus A8N VM CSM, with an onboard Intel HDA soundcard which is sadly unusable, even with Ariff's drivers. The main problem being that I can't record anything with it. I have disabled the onboard soundcard in BIOS and installed a Creative Audigy 2 value. I'm driving that using the emu10kx-20051021 driver from ports. It works fine for playback and recording, but for some reason whenever skype is playing sound the igain mixer control drops until it is at the point where sounds recorded in the mic are inaudible. No other app does this so it looks like a skype issue. I've tried skype-devel out of ports, but I can't make any kind of call with that at all. Can anyone offer suggestions as to what I can do to fix this? Thanks. -- Al. http://where.else.net.nz
