I tried setting only one of the devices to use headsetd, but it works for neither playback nor capturing. I noticed that Skype seems to probe all devices when I initiate a call, because headsetd establishes a connection even though all three (input, output, ringing) devices are set to "default" (i.e. the internal sound card). > What to do? Am I supposed to be using hijacker? I tried to get headsetd working with other programs, for example arecord. This might point to a problem with headsetd not supporting the sample format Skype requests: $ arecord -Dheadset-sco Recording WAVE 'stdin' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 8000 Hz, Mono arecord: set_params:900: Sample format non available Trying a different sample format reminds me of a kernel patch you can find on this list. It is required for reliable SCO communication: $ arecord -Dheadset-sco -f s16_le Recording WAVE 'stdin' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 8000 Hz, Mono ALSA lib pcm_sco.c:277:(sco_headset_hw_params) Unable to set number of SCO buffers : please upgrade your Kernel ! arecord: set_params:961: Unable to install hw params: [...] In both cases arecord fails to use the headsetd sound device. So either 1) Skype tries to use a sample format that is not supported at all or 2) the sample format is okay but it fails because of the missing kernel patch 3) there's some other problem ;-) You could try the patch to see if it helps.
