There are a few different ways.
1. If your machine is a brand-name machine, you can search the manufacturers website for details on how your machine is configured. You should be able to find out what soundcard is in there from them.
2. You can open up the machine & if you dont have an onboard soundcard (a soundcard which is built into the motherboard) remove the soundcard and read the numbers off the chip. Usually the largest chip on the card has the numbers you need. If you are using onboard sound, you will need to find out the make and model of your motherboard and Google that to find out what soundcard chipset is used on it.
3. You can download and run software to tell you what is in your machine. I frequently use a freeware program called "unknown device identifier" for this purpose. It will give you information on all the hardware in your pc, including your audio card. I will include a link below.
