I wouldn’t be surprised if newer versions of Skype no longer work on really old versions of Fedora. The first thing you should do is upgrade to a new version of Fedora. Fedora 8 is much, much better than Fedora Core 1.

Hi, I’m having some problems with my dsp’s & fedora 3. Fedora recognizes them, and they work, but every 5 minutes or so it seems like the onboard sound card and the soundcard for the dsp’s are conflicting so I get an error.

If you have any suggestions it would be great

Thanks!

IÃ¢ï¿½ï¿½ve been running skype on FC3 with sound card SB Live 5.1 (emu10k1) but i canÃ¢ï¿½ï¿½t call, it gives the message: problem with audio device. Not only Skype is giving problem but also Asterisk(GNOPHONE and KPHONE).

I can't get my usb mic working alongside my sb audigy2. I am using alsa, on fc3, and I have two alsa soundcards. my sb audigy2, and now my usb mic AK5370.

When I plug in my mic, /dev/dsp1 appears.

however,

with the skype dsp hijack, this does not work!

MIXERDEV=/dev/mixer MICDEV=/dev/dsp1 SPEAKERDEV=/dev/dsp LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libskype_dsp_hijacker.so:/lib/libdl.so.2 skype

I get no sound at all with this, playback or recording.

Espero que alguien hable espaÃƒÂ±ol mi problema es que skype me funciona muy bien, pero desde linux tiene muy buena calidad sonora, pero el sonido es muy cortado. Mientras que en Window$ la calidad es menor pero llega todo el sonido, no se corta (y me entienden cuando hablo )

Maybe you know how to make it work under debian/wmaker with 2.6.10 and sound on OSS?
