using USB based micro and speaker with FreeBSD / Skype
Matthias Apitz
Hello,
I'm running a 8-CURRENT on a Dell M4400 laptop, which has an internal
micro and loudspeaker which work fine with Skype. For meetings I'd like
to have better sound on my side, i.e. would like to use external
loudspeaker and microphone. I've got from our support these two USB
devices:
microphone:
Feb 17 11:47:46 current root: Unknown USB device: vendor 0x0556 product 0x0001 bus uhub0
Feb 17 11:47:46 current kernel: ugen5.2: <Asahi Kasei Microsystems> at usbus5
loudspeaker:
Feb 17 11:48:36 current kernel: ugen5.2: <Logitech> at usbus5
Feb 17 11:48:36 current kernel: uhid0: <Logitech Logitech Speaker, class 0/0, rev 1.10/1.00, addr 2> on usbus5
Feb 17 11:48:36 current root: Unknown USB device: vendor 0x046d product 0x0a10 bus uhub0
Is there any way to map them to the audio system of my FreeBSD or should
I aim for devices with normal audio jacks?
Thx
matthias

Follow-up: the microphone problem perhaps is related to this bug report:
