Default mic not working in skype 2 oss
Hello all I need an advise with skype 2 oss. When I try to make a test call I hear my voice sounds like a robot. I have the following info in /dev/sndstat:
Code:
cat /dev/sndstat
 
FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm: 64bit 2009061500/amd64)
Installed devices:
pcm0: <HDA Realtek ALC883 PCM #0 Analog> (play/rec) default
pcm1: <HDA Realtek ALC883 PCM #1 Digital> (play)
pcm2: <HDA Realtek ALC883 PCM #2 Analog> (rec)
This is what i get in /boot/loader.conf:
Code:
cat /boot/loader.conf 
it_ath_load="YES"
wlan_wep_load="YES"
wlan_ccmp_load="YES"
wlan_tkip_load="YES"
snd_hda_load="YES"
and in rc.conf

Code:
cat /etc/rc.conf 

moused_enable="YES"
sshd_enable="YES"
wlans_ath0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="inet 192.168.1.127 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid SLACKWARE"
hald_enable="YES"
dbus_enable="YES"
gdm_enable="YES"
gnome_enable="YES"
sound_load="YES"
Dmesg shows the following info for my audio device:
Code:
dmesg |grep hda

Any suggestions?Thanks in advance.

P.S. When I put in sysctl.conf hw.snd.default_unit=1 or hw.snd.default_unit=2 my sounds is gone.

What if you mute:

Code:
Mixer line     is currently set to  75:75
Mixer rec      is currently set to 100:100

Depending on codec, setting mic to 100% may mean 30dB pre-amplification. You may want to set lower level to avoid clipping due to input overload. Same (though in much smaller way) may be truth for rec control.

Guys I want to say a big thank you on both of you. I set line to 0 and rec to 85 and now everything sounds really well.

What if you add to your /boot/loader.conf
Code:
dev.pcm.0.rec.vchans=4
dev.pcm.0.play.vchans=4
hint.pcm.0.eq=1
hint.pcm.0.vpc=1
?

I haven't checked with this option Bunyan but I'll keep this in mind. The previous stuff that mav@ and Pjoter advised me fixed the problem.
