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

Type in a terminal:
hwinfo | grep sound.card_id
