[Ekiga-list] Re (2): Re (2): Audio-Problems

[PETER EASTHOPE <peasthope shaw ca>]

Palo,

ps> Ekiga audio did not work when Skype was running. 

Do you mean that you want to hear the ring 
from an incoming call to Ekiga while a Skype 
conversation is in progress?  Or do you mean 
that the Skype daemon is merely idle in the 
background when Ekiga rings?  

In this system, ringing is directed to the 
default device, which is an alias for the 
on-board Intel sound.  Sound-in and sound-out 
use a USB-audio adapter and headset.

If Judith's system uses the same device for 
sound-out and for ringing, an incoming Ekiga 
connection during a Skype conversation would be 
problematic.

Conclusion: separate hardware for sound out and 
for ringing is a worthwhile small investment.

Regards,       ... Peter E.
