How do I find out what kind of sound card I've got?

My computer was just fixed and my brother wasn’t able to find soundcard drivers. How can I find out (without opening the box?) what kind of sound card is in it? I need to install some drivers before I go insane.

If it was made by a large manufacturer, look on thier website. If it wasn’t, just open it up and look at the card, its no big deal.

I am assuming that you have a Window OS. You need to go to “Device Manager” and see if it listed under sound,video devices. I ought to be listed there and then find the drivers on the Internet or the Windows CD. An easy way to find Device Manager is to hold the Windows key and press Pause- Break key in the upper right of keyboard.
