Thanks for replying, I would like to get started with sound drivers. One thing I will say is that I haven't done this before, so I really appreciate you guys helping me out. I am going to check out the source for solid and then look at it. Also I will go to the website and get some information about the project.<div>

</div></div>Hi Vikram<br>
<br>
I'm fine, thank you for asking. <br>
<br>
Solid itself does not consist of classical 'device drivers' that talk to the<br>
hardware. It's more of an interface layer that talks to various platforms'<br>
system software that talk to the drivers that talk to the hardware.<br>
<br>
That doesn't mean there isn't anything to do - there are certainly bugs to fix<br>
in Solid itself, as well as work in other parts of KDE to talk to various<br>
types of devices - webcams (see the Kamoso app), sound cards (improving Phonon<br>
backends), networking (ie 3G support) as well as improving the hardware<br>
related UI for things like automounting. So choose an area of hardware<br>
support in KDE that you are excited about and we'll point you in the right<br>
direction to help with it.<br>
<br>
