I can listen to Flash 10 plugin sound, Kaffeine, KDE system sound etc. Maybe just a Skype issue? Quite likely. It seems they abuse the ALSA API rather badly. For one thing, it seems like they're using the hw device instead of plughw, Thats true... I can't plughw at all, they force to use hw... -- ___ Alsa-user mailing list Alsa-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user

That's exactly the the same hardware interface (and driver), so I'd guess you'd get the same error. Ok, same driver, but different chip, isn't it? The internals of the chip might be somewhat different, but the interface to the driver is exactly the same (except for a bit to enable 8 channels), and since the problem is apparently not with the hardware but with the way how Skype accesses the device, the same thing is likely to happen with the 8768.

[Alsa-user] Known C-Media 8738 issues?
Hi there, when I use Skype 2.0.0.72 on Linux I get an error: RtApiAlsa: callback thread error (RtApiAlsa: audio write error for device (C- Media CMI8738 (hw:CMI8738,0)): unknown error 405.) ... closing stream. I did not have problems before when I use my good old Soundblaster Live! and so I wonder, are there any known issues with the CMedia 8738 chip? Do you think I could get rid of this Skype issue when I upgrade to a CMedia 8768 chip? Malte -- Are you an open source citizen? Join us for the Open Source Bridge conference!

Re: [Alsa-user] Known C-Media 8738 issues?
I tested the 8768 for another poster regarding skype. It worked for me with Suse 11.1 64bit OS.. The card is a Diamond XS71. About $30. I run multiple copies of this card in the box for other software. It seems to be very compatible with linux software. -Original Message- From: Malte Gell malte.g...@gmx.de Date: Mon, 22 Jun 2009 09:38:06 To: alsa-user@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Alsa-user] Known C-Media 8738 issues?

Unknown error isn't quite helpful. I did not have problems before when I use my good old Soundblaster Live! and so I wonder, are there any known issues with the CMedia 8738 chip? Nothing comes to mind. Do you think I could get rid of this Skype issue when I upgrade to a CMedia 8768 chip? That's exactly the the same hardware interface (and driver), so I'd guess you'd get the same error. Best regards, Clemens -- Are you an open source citizen?
