This part I don't know about. In my testing (not Skype) on a laptop with both internal and USB speakers, I could get them to co-exist nicely, and with well-behaved programs (for some values of "well-behaved" at least) I could select which audio device (eg. dsp0, dsp1, etc) to use. AFAIR, Skype only lets you select one audio device, and will use that for all it's sound output, both ringing tone and voice output. This is clearly not what everybody wants, and I would love to be proven wrong here. > Now, a bit of searching on the 'Net, I know I can get USB Speakers, > but is that something only Windows supports, or will FreeBSD support > it? See snd_uaudio(4). > Thoughts / suggestions? Talk to the developers of Skype, and ask them how to select a different audio device for ringing signal output? -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen, Norway
