Your soundcard output looks ok. According to Skype this is supposed to be backwards compatible, but I'm starting to think not. Skype isn't noted for being very supportive outside the windows/linux world and the answer I got was "just upgrade to the latest linux distro" There are a couple of directions you can go. 1) Revert back to skype12 until I get this all sorted out. The skype 12 port can be found here: http://people.freebsd.org/~beech/source/skype12.tar.gz Just replace your net/skype with that and either portdowngrade or build/install by hand. 2) you could try updating your linux_base to fc6 and see if that solves the problem. I don't want to force 6.x users to update to fc6 or mark this broken until I find out for sure what the problem is. As I said earlier I am going to put skype12 back in the tree after the freeze. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Beech Rintoul - FreeBSD Developer - beech@FreeBSD.org /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | FreeBSD Since 4.x \ / - NO HTML/RTF in e-mail | http://www.freebsd.org X - NO Word docs in e-mail | Latest Release: / \ - http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/6.2R/announce.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
