I tested the 8768 for another poster regarding skype. It worked for me with Suse 11.1 64bit OS.. The card is a Diamond XS71. About $30. I run multiple copies of this card in the box for other software. It seems to be very compatible with linux software. -----Original Message----- From: Malte Gell <malte.gell@xxxxxx> Date: Mon, 22 Jun 2009 09:38:06 To: <alsa-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Known C-Media 8738 issues? Hi there, when I use Skype 2.0.0.72 on Linux I get an error: RtApiAlsa: callback thread error (RtApiAlsa: audio write error for device (C- Media CMI8738 (hw:CMI8738,0)): unknown error 405.) ... closing stream. I did not have problems before when I use my good old Soundblaster Live! and so I wonder, are there any known issues with the CMedia 8738 chip? Do you think I could get rid of this Skype issue when I upgrade to a CMedia 8768 chip?
