   Hi, I am trying to run ekiga softphone. The program appeared to start up ok but when I checked the preferences I noticed that it lists sound device as 'SILENT (Ekiga/Ekiga)'. Any ideas why it fails to recognize the sound device?

   Thanks

   Hi, it could be a problem with ekiga looking for a wrong ptlib directory. If thats the case try this:

   #cd /usr/lib/
   #ln -s ptlib-2.6.5 2.6.5
   #ekiga

   Give feedback

   No chroot,cooked ptlib.tazpkg,alsa_pwplugin.so was included.
   Maybe I have a build depends installed that is missing from receipt.

   @gdesilva
   My sound card is listed in Sound devices,wav files in sound events play.

   @viridio, creating the softlink did not work.

   @mojo - reinstalling ptlib you provided fixed it. Many thanks once again.

   Build_Depends="alsa-lib-dev"
   builds alsa_pwplugin.so
