Hi Sigi!

Soundcards like Soundblaster are best indentified with the printed
number on the Card. CT4769, CT4610 etc etc.. I have not seen a sysinfo
program identifying this number correctly.

2nd. Sysinfos on Windows do mostly read out the driver data of the
soundcard, so it is not sure the sysinfo will show, what you really
have built in.

Looking to the soundcard is always preferable. E.g. you can read
'Hercules Soundcard Fortissimo II', or 'Soundblaster PCI 128'. Then you
now exactly where and how to look.

P.S.: Always turn off the PC. Shutting to zero, or realeasing the power
cable. The ATX Switch should be enjoyed with care when pulling I/O
cards, cpu, memory....
