freebsd stable - Feb 2013 - Sound problems with skype in FreeBSD home.encontacto.net 9.1-STABLE FreeBSD 9.1-STABLE #410 r246209M: Sat Feb 16 05:07:32 CST 2013 fr amd64

Sound works fine for all players, browsers, etc.  everything except SKYPE

I've user both ports and both give the same results.  Rigt now I'm
using:
skype-2.1.0.81_1,1

I've used it for years with no problems.  It quite working during Christmas
vacations.

Where could I start to trouble shoot this other than just erasing and
rebuilding the skype ports.

Thanks,

just in case:

cat /compat/linux/etc/alsa/pcm/pcm-oss.conf

pcm.oss1 {
        type oss
        device /dev/dsp1
        hint {
                description "Open Sound System"
        }
}

ctl.oss1 {
        type oss
        device /dev/mixer1
        hint {
                description "Open Sound System"
        }

Why are you using /dev/dsp1 & /dev/mixer1?

I would have thought using /dev/dsp and /dev/mixer would work, and if you wanted
to change which sound device you're using globally then set the
hw.snd.default_unit sysctl.

Also, what is the output of cat /dev/sndstat ?

How does /compat/linux/etc/asound.conf look?
Does it mention "oss" anywhere?
