Hi,
I have a problem running skype using oss. I posted in several places and this
list is my last hope :-)
Skype is keeping answering: Problem With Audio Playback whenever I make a call
or get a call.
My sound card is Envy24ht, I precise that I'm able to listen music, watch
film
and all other stuff using sound, so the sound cart is correctly configured.
Recording is wirking fine too, the sample test:
$ cat </dev/dsp4 > test.raw # Then speak
$ cat test.raw > /dev/dsp
I can hear with the second command what I record with the first one.
In skype I have tried a lot of configuration in Sound card device :
According to what I read I should use:
In : /dev/dsp4
Out: /dev/dsp
Ringing: /dev/dsp
What ever I try I'm keeping getting the following error message:
Problem With Audio Playback.
Depending of the configuration I choose I get the following kernel message:
Envy24ht : Reccording is not supported on /dev/oss/envy24ht0/pcm0
or
Envy24ht: Playback is not supported on /dev/oss/envy24ht0/pcmin0
Actually it looks like he tries to use only one of the configuration and expect
a full duplex device but I read full duplex is not supported by OSS, is there
any solution to get skype working at the end?
Thanks by advance for any help
Here is my configuration:

The weirdest things I got are in the kernel conf:
