To check if you have installed the sound card, you would typically look at the Device Manager on a Windows PC. Under the "Sound, video and game controllers" section, you should see the sound card listed there if it's installed correctly. Additionally, you can also check the audio settings in the Control Panel to ensure the sound card is recognized and configured as the default playback device. If the sound card is not listed or shows a warning symbol, it may not be properly installed.
