What version of alsa are you running? Maybe an upgrade would help. There are links to the latest and greatest at http://www.alsa-project.org I recommend you use either the default device or one of the plughw devices. They give you some alsa magic. What happens if you use arecord to record a sample directly rather than through skype? See man arecord for sample command. It seems to me that it is skype causing the problem at the interface to alsa, rather than alsa itself. This will confirm that. If you can record without overruns using arecord, it is a skype interface problem. Underrun means that you are playing audio and the device runs out of frames to play, overrun means you are recording audio, and the device runs out of buffer space to put the audio. Someone posted on this list a link to http://frinika.sourceforge.net and there were some settings to prioritize sound high so it didn't get locked out by other happenings like beagle and other background disk scanners. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
