Do you have /compat/linux/dev directory and/or mount devfs on it? Show
your "ls -l /compat/linux/dev".
I haven't got the /compat/linux/dev directory:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/home/joseba]$ ls -l /compat/linux/dev
ls: /compat/linux/dev: No such file or directory
And of course, I haven't got anything mounted on it:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/home/joseba]$ mount
/dev/ad0s2a on / (ufs, local)
devfs on /dev (devfs, local)
/dev/ad0s2e on /tmp (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/ad0s2f on /usr (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/ad0s2d on /var (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/ad0s1 on /mnt/winXP (msdosfs, local)

have tried to modify the values of the /dev/dsp0.0 to 0.4 with the
xfce4-mixer, and impossible. All of them are down and I cannot wake up them,
they fall down. Using the mixer command I see that all of them are in
the same situation, the same as mixer0.

I have also seen that when skype shows the alarm, it kills a channel:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/home/joseba]$ dmesg | grep pcm
pcm0: <Acer Labs M5451> port 0x8400-0x84ff mem 0xd0005000-0xd0005fff
irq 5 at device 6.0 on pci0
pcm0: <Conexant CX20468 AC97 Codec>
pcm0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
pcm0:record:0:dsp0.0: record interrupt timeout, channel dead
Can you explain me or tell me a link to read how to configurate this
directory well to make skype work fine?
I have installed gnome2 and the Volume control names the sound device
"Unknow volume control 1(Oss mixer)". Is it important? I don't know if I
need something else to configure the sound correctly.
Also, when I see the processes involved with skype, I obtain the following (5
different skype_bin):
bash-2.05b$ ps -aux | grep skype
joseba 80724 0.0 7.8 28188 14564 ?? S 12:54PM 0:09.05 skype_bin
joseba 80725 0.0 7.8 28188 14564 ?? S 12:54PM 0:00.04 skype_bin
joseba 80748 0.0 7.8 28188 14564 ?? I 12:54PM 0:00.03 skype_bin
joseba 80749 0.0 7.8 28188 14564 ?? S 12:54PM 0:21.12 skype_bin
joseba 80750 0.0 0.0 28188 14556 ?? IW - 0:00.00 skype_bin
joseba 37525 0.0 0.4 1592 824 p2 S+ 1:47PM 0:00.00 grep skype
I received also the help of Pietro Cerutti, who told me to do the next:
try setting the sysctl OID
dev.pcm.0.vchans=4
but my system hasn't got that variable.
bash-2.05b$ sysctl -a | grep pcm
hw.snd.pcm0.buffersize: 4096
hw.snd.pcm0.vchans: 0
dev.pcm.0.%desc: Acer Labs M5451
dev.pcm.0.%driver: pcm
dev.pcm.0.%location: slot=6 function=0 handle=\_SB_.PCI0.AUDI
dev.pcm.0.%pnpinfo: vendor=0x10b9 device=0x5451 subvendor=0x103c
subdevice=0x0024 class=0x040100
dev.pcm.0.%parent: pci0
Thanks a lot for your knowledge and patient.
