How to identify sound card model in your PC

Sometimes, we can't find anywhere CD driver of our PC motherboard contains drivers for sound card, LAN card, and VGA card. Usually, Windows XP is able to identify these card if it is not on-board (included in motherboard circuit). Any card inserted to PCI is usually recognized by Windows XP, but on-board cards (usually sound and VGA cards) are rarely recognized without 3rd party drivers.
To identify sound card, please look at a small IC chip located in bottom left of motherboard, it is so small so look carefully at what written on this chip (location within red boundary in the picture). It is a usual location for sound card circuit in motherboard. If your motherboard has sound card from Realtek, C-media, etc, its model is written right on the black surface of the chip. After that we can use Google to search and download its driver. There many available driver in internet, just pick the correct one!
