Re: [Ekiga-list] Re (2): Re^6: Audio-Problems

[Doug Laidlaw <laidlaws hotkey net au>]

I have a similar problem.  I have an Audigy sound card using ca0106, and a USB 
headset using snd-usb-audio.  I have adapted your modprobe.conf, but how do 
you switch between them?  For a while they were loaded automatically 
according to the application I opened, but no longer.
