Ekiga does not find audio devices

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

Re: Ekiga does not find audio devices

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

Hi viridio,

You pointed me in the right direction.

ptlib.tazpkg in cooking has no alsa_pwplugin.so

Re: Ekiga does not find audio devices

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.
