>Description:
I installed skype (skype-1.0.0.20) from pkgsrc without any additional flags and recieved no error messages. When running skype, the sound output worked but not the input. After investigating the problem I saw that the soundcard driver did not set the soundcard in full-duplex mode by default.
Soundcard I used:
$ dmesg|grep -i eap
eap0 at pci0 dev 15 function 0: Ensoniq CT5880 CT5880-C (rev. 0x02)
eap0: interrupting at irq 5
eap0: ac97: TriTech TR28602 codec; no 3D stereo
audio0 at eap0: full duplex, mmap, independent
midi0 at eap0: AudioPCI MIDI UART
>How-To-Repeat:
Installed skype as I said above, without applying fix using audioctl ulity.
>Fix:
$ audioctl -w fullduplex=1
$ audioctl -w full_duplex=1
