The card was configured correctly. My sounds are working as expected. The card is correctlt shown in Yast. I have moved the old /.skype to a temp direvtory. Seemed a better solution as renaming them. I have deleted in Yast Skype and installed a fresh, new Skype again. Ran Skype in console and get the same info as before. Still /dev/dsp-1 Think it is now the time to symlink dsp-1 to dsp. Could you give me the command line for that. Can do it in midnight commander but never seem to be able to get it right there.
I'll bet the anomalous /dev/dsp-1 is a leftover, non-working device created by a YaST script when it was 'configuring' the second, "phantom" card. Try this as normal user, please, before attempting to create a link: cd /dev l ds* (that's a lowercase L, for list) If you find that /dev/dsp *and* /dev/dsp-1 exist, open Skype and, somewhere under 'Tools' > 'Options' is a drop-down list for selecting the correct (working) Digital Signal Processing device (DSP)... I only have one and it's called "/dev/dsp" like everybody else. That's all I see in the drop-down list. If, however, both exist under /dev, the correct one (/dev/dsp) should be available in the drop-down list and you can just select it. If, on the other hand, you do the 'l ds*' and see *only* /dev/dsp-1 I'd say you haven't really fixed the underlying problem... you might want to think about discovering why the standard /dev/dsp has not been created. If there is only a /dev/dsp-1 and you don't want to chase down why, then 'su -' to root while in /dev and do 'ln -s dsp-1 dsp' That's it. Please let me know what you find... I am very curious now. Good luck! Carl
