Soundcard specification? Where to get?

2010-12-21 10:07:35

I have DELL laptop (E1705 or 9400) with soundcard from SIGMATEL. There is no specification (supported bits per sample, sample rate etc) at web and official dell site. So how can I get this information (any software etc)?

Someone can probably come up with a more professional answer, but I know if you use Winamp, if you go to Options > Preferences > Output > Nullsoft DirectSound Output, there's a part that says device info and that will display the sampling rate at least. I'd assume if there's no specs posted that the card is 16 bit, and I'd hazard a guess that its max sample rate is 48 kHz.
