Hello all, I am a newcomer both to this list and freebsd. In my quest of installing FreeBSD 5.3 as a desktop properly, I would now like to setup the sound properly. I have the Vchans setup in sysctl.conf, it looks good. Now the only thing I have left is I'd like to set my microphone to default in stereo, 44100 Hz sampling. I think that the default is 8000Hz, mono which is not a value which works with my setup and causes Skype to produce the weirdest noises to my friends. As Skype doesn't let us toggle this setting, I am wondering if the default can be changed? Or if anybody has a trick for at least setting it in Skype? I read in the handbook I could use hints.pcm.0.vol to set the volume. Maybe there is a way to set other things with hints, like the stereo? If so what are the parameter names? Where can I find a list of these? I tried google, bsdforums.org, the man pages, and the handbook. No success... Any ideas? Thanks! Yannack
