Thanks. I'll fiddle with that.

For tests you might even record and playback the recorded with, for

yes, Skype allows to configure this even on top of the emulation of
Linux; I do it all days

Haven't tried skype on FreeBSD but there should be a device setting. 
I've noticed that some machines seem to automatically switch, ie when 
I plug in headphones to the headphone jack or a mic into a microphone 
jack it "just works". But other machines don't work automatically and 
I have to set the device manually as above. A simple way, you can try 
setting each device to see which one works. :)

OK. Thanks.

I'll give that a try.

Hi,

you need to specify the device, take a look at

# ls /dev/dsp*
/dev/dsp0.0/dev/dsp0.1/dev/dsp1.0/dev/dsp2.0/dev/dsp2.1

for example, i can send audio output to headphone jack:
# mplayer -zoom -x 1280 -y 720 -fs -ao oss:/dev/dsp1 -mixer /dev/mixer2
/path/to/file

Haven't tried skype on FreeBSD but there should be a device setting. I've
noticed that some machines seem to automatically switch, ie when I plug in
headphones to the headphone jack or a mic into a microphone jack it "just
works". But other machines don't work automatically and I have to set the
device manually as above. A simple way, you can try setting each device to
see which one works. :)

re: built-in mic configuration [compaq presario laptop]

[Alexander Kapshuk]

I would like to be able to use the built-in mic to record audio and to 
use Skype with. An external mic seems to work out-of-the-box.


Any input would be appreciated.
