[Ekiga-list] Noob (to Ekiga) question

[Daniel O'Donnell]

Hi all,

I've tried searching the archives for this, because I am told it is a
common setup issue, but had no luck under usb or soundcards | sound
cards.

Basically my problem is the following: I have a logitech 250 USB
headphone which works fine with Gizmo and Skype, and often with Ekiga.
BUT, when I use it with Ekiga it frequently drops out. When I try to
close Ekiga in these circumstances, it tends to freeze, sometimes
freezing the whole computer, and a reboot is required. Even if it
doesn't freeze, it takes its time closing and seems to be using a fair
bit of resources. If the computer doesn't freeze, other resources can't
write to the device after Ekiga closes down.

This problem occurs whether the headphone is set to the default sound
card or not (the slow exiting/freezing). If the sound card is not
default, Ekiga doesn't recognise it, though Gizmo and Skype seem to.

I am using a new install of Ubuntu Etch. My other sound card is Intel
82801DB-ICH4.

Any suggestions?
