Try this:

lspci -v | less

This will list lots of information about all the pci devices in your computer, 
which should include the sound card.  The "| less" part of the command pipes 
the output through "less," which will let you view it one page at a time, 
scroll up and down, etc. Look for anything that says "audio."

Try this also:

lsmod | less

This will list all the loaded modules, which should include your sound driver.
