How can I know whether a sound card is present on my system or not?

  • 772

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 Gnome classic. Obviously playing the music shows there is a sound card present. But I've read that there might be multiple sound cards present on a single system.

How can I know how many sound cards are present on my system? Also, how can I know which all they are?

    To detect your soundcard, use sudo aplay -l from the Terminal.
