 Could this be the problem?  If so, is there a fix?

unreachable means you can't connect to the remote endpoint over the
network. Try pinging sss1.skype.net.

Check your recording device, mixer level and similar. You also have to 
give permission permissions by editing /etc/devfs.conf


perm   /dev/dsp* 0666 (dsp stands for synthetic sound)
and probably the next one would not hurt
perm   /dev/pci* 0666


It would help if you tell us your set up (which audio card you use, 
which driver and so on before somebody can say something more).

Chipset is the VIA KM266, and I am using the integrated audio which uses

No error messages on Skype test...just silence.

This is not an issue anymore for -current or future 7.x.

Hi Ariff :) 

I haven't had the problem since.But i decided to check with fstat...and I was
amazed at the number of file descriptors (to /dev/[sound_related]) that skype
keeps open.

I use skype extensively, both for chat + voice. I've had skype running for over
12 hours, probably 24 hours (my uptime says 1 day 21 hours...so maybe as long
as that). When  I run your command, I got 2700+ entries  - all but 2 were
skype's!  You can see it for yourself at

http://www.meijome.net/files/freebsd/20070706/withskype_12hrs+.txt

I then shut down skype :
http://www.meijome.net/files/freebsd/20070706/b4skype.txt

And opened it again, waited it to log in and go another snapshot:
http://www.meijome.net/files/freebsd/20070706/withskype.txt (no changes really).

I then did a test call to the skype test call bot, while the call was running i
got:
http://www.meijome.net/files/freebsd/20070706/skype_1_call.txt

which is , i suppose, ok... but AFTER the call, I still had several entries
left over:

Is this normal / expected? 

Thanks again for all your help.

 Hi Ariff :) 
 
 I haven't had the problem since.But i decided to check with
 fstat...and I was amazed at the number of file descriptors (to
 /dev/[sound_related]) that skype keeps open.
 
 I use skype extensively, both for chat + voice. I've had skype
 running for over 12 hours, probably 24 hours (my uptime says 1 day
 21 hours...so maybe as long as that). When  I run your command, I
 got 2700+ entries  - all but 2 were skype's!  You can see it for
 yourself at
 
 http://www.meijome.net/files/freebsd/20070706/withskype_12hrs+.txt
 
 I then shut down skype :
 http://www.meijome.net/files/freebsd/20070706/b4skype.txt
 
 And opened it again, waited it to log in and go another snapshot:
 http://www.meijome.net/files/freebsd/20070706/withskype.txt (no
 changes really).
 
 I then did a test call to the skype test call bot, while the call
 was running i got:
 http://www.meijome.net/files/freebsd/20070706/skype_1_call.txt
 
 which is , i suppose, ok... but AFTER the call, I still had several
 entries left over:
 http://www.meijome.net/files/freebsd/20070706/skype_1_call_finished.txt
 

Most of it are actually duplicates due to spawning threads or child
forks, so it is safe to ignore it.

 Is this normal / expected? 
 

It is as normal/expected as it is since I don't have any skype
sources to examine with :) . Why it leaves so many dangling opened
devices is beyond my comprehension.

I don't recall skype being some kind of sound driver torture test
regression software suite, but well... :)

 Hello,

 On my Debian I haven't such problem. 
 
 I also change, 
 sysctl hw.snd.maxautovchans=8
 
 as was in previous message about skype, but still is the problem with sound

 From 'dmesg', I have:

Hi Zbigniew,
interestingly...i've had this problem a couple of times a few days ago. The
first call would work fine, the following would not at all. Restarting skype
would fix it, but then it'd stop working again.
what kernel + world (from what day) are you running?
mine is 
FreeBSD ayiin.xxx.com.au 6.2-STABLE FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE #10: Sun Jul  1 
09:50:58 EST 2007 

World from same day or a day or 2 earlier.

yes, of course. In my case, this has always been set and working fine. it
showed the problems I described in my previous email ... and now it's fine
again. strange
