I would first like to say sorry Garret, my previous questions were not in good detail. [recap of a problem often requoted recently on list] I happen to be blind and so can't examine your .png files. I also happen to be a very regular user of Skype (though on Windows) and FreeBSD (though an old version). First question: Why, after all the urging, do you not just try the hw.snd.maxautovchans option and see what happens? It doesn't take long to do this, and certainly not as long as it takes to retype your question with details. :) But maybe you aren't aware that having multiple channels can, at least afaik, allow device names like /dev/dsp0.0, /dev/dsp0.1, etc. If just setting maxautovchans doesn't let you use the same device name in both places, maybe you can use different ones after all. But I still think you have to set maxautovchans. Details from you remain below. FREEBSD 6.0 STABLE Using the linux_base-8 port. --I am using a USB headset, but have also tried one that plugs directly into my microphone and speaker slots on my computer. Now, since my USB headsetwill input sound from one device, and output from another, I am in a little problem. here is a picture of the options for headset in the skype port: http://www.arckeda.org/Skype_port.png As you can see, there is only one device I can use for my headset, (there is supposed to be a program called DSP highjacker for this, but I would think that there would be a better way.) Now, I downloaded the Linux static binary with QT compiled in from the skype website (www.skype.com) and tried it on my computer, if I go into the options in that one, I see this: http://www.arckeda.org/Skype_native.png You may want to know why I am even writing this if I can just use the Linux Skype, well, I am writing this because the Linux build will not let me call anyone: http://www.arckeda.org/Skype_native_cant_call.png It will just keep saying connecting, and nothing ever happens, I can however see who is online at the moment: http://www.arckeda.org/Skype_native_can_see.png So, my question is, how can I either make the Skype port let me use two devices or, allow the Linux Skype to let me call people and receive calls. I think that about sums it up.

Skype will can't connect.
Using FreeBSD 6.0 Stable. Using the linux_base-8 port. I have decided to make a new post about this problem because my old one was very badly written and I am sure no one could figure out my problem. I would like to try Skype, but the port will only allow me to use ONE of my devices at a time, so my headset can't hear and talk at the same time, I have to manually swich between the headset and speaker device. (There is something called DSP hijacker for this which I do not want to mess with.) I thought that perhaps using the linux version would help, I downloaded the linux static tar.gz with QT compiled in, and when I opened it, I was please to find that in the tools section there is an option for both your input and output device. However, I was upset to find out that I could not call or be called in this version. So, do wrap things up, my problem is: When using the linux build of skype, I can not call or be called, I can't even call the voice testing service. My question is: How can I start calling people and be called? Again, I am using FreeBSD 6 and the linux-base-8 port. Any help would be appricated, thanks. -ARCKEDA - No need to miss a message.

You see, in the port, there is only one sound device I can choose, even though my headset outputs to /dev/dsp and gets input from /dev/dsp1, so that I can only talk or hear, not both at the same time. The linux build will not even let me call anyone or recieve calls, not even the call testing service. Please feel free to tell me any thing that you think might help. -ARCKEDA Yes, it's most likely the problem if you can't play multiple audio sources at once. Just please try my suggestion before saying it's not possible. -Garrett I am afraid that playing multiple audio sources is not my problem, the problem is I don't have the option to select more than one source at a time in the Skype native port. In the linux build, I have that option, but I can't call or receive calls from anyone. Thank you. -ARCKEDA - Bored stiff? Loosen up... Download and play hundreds of games for free on Yahoo!
