I followed the Sound steps below that are included in pkg-message and that did the trick. Hopefully these notes will help others having mic problems with the Logitech camera. NOTE: Just before I followed the below steps I did recompile my kernel to include "snd_hda" support. After I finished that task I did try Skype and it did not work. I mention this just in case if someone is troubleshooting such a problem and "snd_hda" might be needed. Thanks to all the helped, Sean 2. Sound Since the OSS interface was removed, Skype now uses linux-alsa compat packages. By default you get one device corresponding to your default OSS dsp device (so Skype will use it for ringing, incoming voice and mic). If that doesn't suit needs, you can map the other dsp devices for example by editing /compat/linux/etc/alsa/pcm/pcm-oss.conf. You need to (re)start Skype after you edit this file in order to get Skype pick up the changes. Adding the following to the stock file, and then starting Skype and choosing in Options-->Sound Devices: Speakers: oss1 will let you use the second dsp (usually the front panel connectors for your headphones, while still hearing the call ringing and other notification on the first dsp device (presumably the one you connect your speakers to). pcm.oss1 { type oss device /dev/dsp1 hint { description "Open Sound System" } } ctl.oss1 { type oss device /dev/mixer1 hint { description "Open Sound System" } }
