AFAIK kded4 doesn't need to use /dev/dsp directly. May be your Phonon configuration points to the OSS device and therefore the whole multimedia of KDE uses it. Have you tried to switch the devices order in the Multimedia option in System Settings ? You may need to relogin/restart after the change(I'm not really sure about this) Thanks Hi! Thank's for reply. I could not find a place where to specify some device to phonon. I have opened system settings/multimedia. Here I have 2 tabs: - System preferences - I can see a read-only tree audio output/capture categories and all of them have "HDA Intel (ALC268 Analog)" value to the right - The 2nd tab backend allows me to choose from xine/gstreamer (xine is preferred in my case) and some deinterlacing options on the right. I can't see where phonone might be pointed to oss or some other device. Thank you Ok, this is what I did 1. Login to kde (amarok is not started) - skype works, though fuser -m -v /dev/dsp shows that kded4 uses /dev/dsp 2. Start amarok (do not start playing music) - skype works 3. Start playback in amarok - skype stops working (problem with audio playback message) 4. Stop playback in amarok (press stop - not pause) - still skype does not work 5. Exit amarok - skype works again I the 4th point is already a problem, and the 5th point does not solve the problem in 100% of cases - while reporting the original post, I did exit amarok and skype still did not work and that was not single occasion. Additionaly I have got advice on another forum: 6. Running skype with "aoss skype" command solves the problem in all cases - I can even call with skype when amarok plays music in background. I tried "aoss skype" and it does not work for me. The problem with amarok+skype stays I am afraid. Created attachment 36441 [details]
.asoundrc file
save this file in your home dir as .asoundrc
in SystemSettings/Multimedia move "Demixer" to the top in all places.
Now you have skype and amarok and it work wonderfull.
please someone to close this bug
Unfortunately this did not help. I have created .asoundrc file with the specified contents, then rebooted (not sure if that was necessary). Then opened SystemSettings/Multimedia and moved new Demixer item (it did not exist before I have saved .asoundrc) on top of "HDA Intel (ALC268 Analog)" (which existed before) for "Audio output" node and all its children. Still, skype reports "problem with audio playback" after amarok "play" button was pressed once (stopping playback does not help). Rebooting after "Demixer" were moved up also did not help.
