Brad,These ideas sound great. How will we decide which QAs to post? Do you have a list, should we make one? I noticed in other wiki pages that troubleshooting was targeted at a specific set of hardware (eg. Toshiba laptops). Should we pick questions that apply to a general audience first? Thank you.

If not, maybe we can make one over the next week or so; this way, after my finals, I'll be able to dive right in the work. As I was going through the ALSA documentation I noticed that I would have to dig deep in order to find articles related to my issue; maybe we can link directly to them on the Ubuntu wiki for easy reference? Also, I'll try to think of a few questions to ask. Maybe we can go through the "Questions" section on Launchpad and tackle the most common ones first. Thank you all for allowing me to assist you.

I am currently a junior in Computer Engineering at the University of Central Florida. I've been using Ubuntufor about two years and I'd like to help in a technical way. Currently,I am going over the PulseAudio and ALSA documentations, so I'm still not too familiar with them yet. Nonetheless, I'm willing to learn; so if there is anyway I can help the team or if you have any advice for me, please let me know. Thank you very much for your time.Thanks for your interest, Yazen. There are many places where you could help effectively. The most glaring instances are in documentation; Brad Figg has been calling for assistance in that area (wiki/Audio, which, as you can see, is quite sparsely populated). Unfortunately the audio stack is fairly convoluted, so it takes some time to work through the bottom (much less the upper) layers. Now that I think on it, perhaps we (including the team) could work toward more interactive deliverables, aka screencasts or videos to go on Youtube. We'd need accompanying text, of course, for visually impaired folk. So, let's approach this as a Q&A where you bring two questions to the table, and we answer them and illustrate them on modern laptops running Ubuntu. We'll also need to discuss scope. Thoughts?

Yazen, we are always looking for good people to help out. Thanks for taking an interest. BradYazen, I do have some thoughts on that. First, I'd like all the audio pages to be rooted at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio (so any new pages wouldbe http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/<new page>). Next, I'm going for specific,one solution per wiki page write-ups. Ultimately, I'd like some kind of intelligent, question and answer flow to help people help themselves diagnose and resolve issues. Does that make sense or just rambling :-)? Once we have the problems and tests and possible solutions written up I'd like to code them up into scripts which users can easily run. These will make small adjustments to their audio configuration and walk them through testing if the adjustments fixed their issue or not. Brad
