How to know which sound card I have on my PC?

Making Your Computer Experience Better

To know the manufacturer of the sound card in your computer in Linux, try the following command in terminal (Shortcut to open terminal: Ctrl+Alt+T) :

aplay -l | grep card

The output of the command for my laptop is following:

card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC269VB Analog [ALC269VB Analog]
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]

As it clearly says my sound card manufacturer is HDA Intel. What is yours? You can find that easily from the output.

Linux mint 9 Isidora.
in system tools/system profiler & benchmark,summary the multimedia audio adapter is listed as (null) is this why I have no sounds. Also in sound preferences the hardware is listed as dummy output.
I have looked at many solutions on forums and nothing works for me.
