Hi Rick, Thanks for quick reply! I tried your method (below) but got the same error message about not finding the shared object ALSA lib pcm.c:2106:(snd_pcm_open_conf) Cannot open shared library /usr/lib/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_jack.so This happens whether JACK is running or not. The problem seems to be triggered by using the .asoundrc file, when I delete that and restart skype in standalone mode its ok. I suspect its 64-bit related and I'm missing a link of some sort...? Thanks again Norv QUOTE: "I use skype via jack alsa plugin, idjc works, debian lenny 32bit, no idea if your situation is related to using 64 bit or not. Also, you dont need idjc to play music over skype. You can create your own PCM device in .asoundrc to use the jack plugin, and configure skype to use that device. Then in qjackctl you can connect the relevant capture ports to the skype PCM playback ports. Here's my skype section of .asoundrc: pcm.skype { type plug slave { pcm "configvoip" } } pcm.configvoip { type jack playback_ports { 0 alsa_pcm:playback_1 1 alsa_pcm:playback_2 } capture_ports { 0 alsa_pcm:capture_1 1 alsa_pcm:capture_1 } } I simply use the "skype" device in skype sound device config."
