Can't Identify My Soundcard

Okay so my current soundcard is what Gateway originally put in there (and that's about all that's left of their parts). I know the card is a Soundblaster, but I don't know what model. It's not a Live series I know that much. Anyway is there any way to find out? Is it printed in some miniscule area on the card or will Windows tell me somewhere. I'm asking because I'm setting up a rig for my sister and I was planning on giving my sister my old card, but I need drivers for it.

probably a pci128, ive seen a few machines with them in there.
Firstly is it ISA or PCI?
and a model # of the pc would be helpful...

should be a alphanumeric model name on there somewhere starting with CT and ending with 4 numbers I believe. This is how Creative Labs does their cards. The ones i've seen, its usually at the top of the card, on the ISA ones...it was near the slot blade...on the PCI ones...it should be pretty plain to see.

Here is an example of a PCI card an the model name.

Once you have that, you can goto their website and find exactly what your sound card is by this Model Name.

Did you go to Gateways Web site and see if they have a sound card driver available? It should be listed under the Machine Model.

It's a pci card. Couldn't tell you the model of the computer thought. Originally it had a P3 450 in it with a Voodoo 3 16 meg card if the technology tells you anything.

I believe that they have various search and product identifier options that may be able to help you out.

Sound Blaster Ensoniq AudioPCI should be what the card is,,, you can grab the drivers here:
