Hi, I am running Fedora 13.
I was given a computer and do not know what sound card is installed.
What is the best way to go about finding out what it is?
/etc/udev/rules.d/90-alsa-tools-firmware.rules shows these 3 entries:
# TASCAM US-428 usb sound card.
# TASCAM US-224 usb sound card.
# TASCAM US-122 usb sound card.
This show something different:
cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [NVidia ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia
HDA NVidia at 0xfe024000 irq 22
There is a sticker on the side of the box advertising "NVIDIA GeForce
6150 SE" graphics card but will it do sound too? This has no mention of
sound capabilities:

So are either of these methods of identification reliable?
Thanks
