Other methods for determining the sound card type
Looking at the sound card
Another method of determining the sound card manufacturer or model is by opening your computer case and physically examining the sound card. Commonly, the sound card manufacturer's name and model number is printed on the card itself. If the information you need is not printed on the card, you may use an FCC identification number to search its specifications.
Alternative search method
In the Windows Search Box, type System Information and press Enter. Click the + next to Components, then Sound Device.
