There could be a couple of things causing this. Do you have ALSA's OSS |
| 2 |
Emulation properly configured. If you do, you should be able to hear sound |
| 3 |
when you #echo /dev/rand > /dev/dsp . If /dev/dsp isn't working, please |
| 4 |
refer to the Gentoo Wiki article on setting up ALSA properly for OSS |
| 5 |
Emulation. http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_ALSA_Complete_%28includes_dmix%29 |

You may also want to check on which version of ALSA you're using, because |
| 8 |
prior to ~0.9, dmix wasn't automatically enabled (software mixing) and if |
| 9 |
your sound card doesn't support hardware mixing, other devices will tie up |
| 10 |
/dev/dsp and not allow Skype access. Skype is very stingy when it comes to |
| 11 |
sharing /dev/dsp. |

Let me know what you come up with. |
