I have successfully installed FreeBSD 6, 6.1 Beta 4 and PC BSD on my PC at different times. However with all these, there is one application that is really troublesome - SKYPE. I installed Skype from ports - Skype starts up successfully, I can make calls, both myself and the other party can talk and hear each other - however sound is terribly distorted. My PC specs are: 2.0 GHz Celeron 512 MB RAM Creative Sound Blaster Live - emu10k1 I do not have this problem with other applications - xmms, mplayer etc all work fine and with good sound clarity. Please do kindly let me know how to solve this problem of distorted sound with SKYPE. Please help me. Thanks and Regards, Michael
