I've built Skype from the skype-devel port on FreeBSD-6.2-PRERELEASE.
I'm running on a DELL Dimension 9150 with built-in sound hardware that
I was able to get working with the snd_hda patch posted here a couple
months back (thanks!).
When I fire up Skype and try and test the audio, I see these messages:
ALSA lib confmisc.c:672:(snd_func_card_driver) cannot find card '0'
ALSA lib conf.c:3493:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_card_driver returned error: No such device
ALSA lib confmisc.c:392:(snd_func_concat) error evaluating strings
ALSA lib conf.c:3493:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_concat returned error: No such device
ALSA lib confmisc.c:1072:(snd_func_refer) error evaluating name
ALSA lib conf.c:3493:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_refer returned error: No such device
ALSA lib conf.c:3962:(snd_config_expand) Evaluate error: No such device
ALSA lib pcm.c:2099:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default
I can't tell what device it's trying to open.
In Tools -> Options -> Sound Devices I can chose Audio System {OSS,
ALSA}, and ALSA was there initially, and I can chose the Audio
Devices; ALSA disn't show any audio device in the pulldowns. OSS
showed Calls: /dev/dsp, and grayed out Ringing: /dev/dsp. I tried that
but get the same "cannot find" messages on the console. And I can't
switch back to ALSA, perhaps because it didn't have any devices to
list.
So I check the OSS device /dev/dsp. If I go to the /dev/ there is no
/dev/dsp but there is /dev/dsp0.0, dsp0.1.
chris@Bacalao:/dev> ls -l *dsp*
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0, 120 Jan 13 00:12 dsp0.0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0, 123 Jan 12 12:22 dsp0.1
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0, 121 Jan 12 12:22 dspW0.0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0, 124 Jan 12 12:22 dspW0.1
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0, 126 Jan 12 12:22 dspr0.1
I then try and symlink the nonexistent /dev/dsp to /dev/dsp0.0 but get
this telling me 'dsp' already exists:
chris@Bacalao:/dev> sudo ln -s dsp0.0 dsp
ln: dsp: File exists
Oh yeah? Let's see:
chris@Bacalao:/dev> ls -l /dev/dsp
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0, 123 Jan 12 12:22 /dev/dsp
Uh... why does it show here, but not in "ls *dsp*" ? Its device
numbers show it's the same as dsp0.1
Any ideas how to get the audio working?
Thanks.
