  TuxMobil: Sound Card Support for Linux with Laptops and Notebooks
One way to check this, is to compile the different sound drivers into the kernel and check whether they are detected or not.
As a last resort you may look on to the inscription of the sound chip itself.
The Advanced Linux Sound Architecture aims to: be a fully-modularized sound driver which supports kerneld/kmod, ensure compatibility with most binary OSS/Lite applications, create an ALSA Library (C,C++) which covers the ALSA Kernel API for applications, and create ALSA Manager, an interactive configuration program for the driver.

 AEX - The most comprehensive exploration of Atari online
Technically, this chip was used in part to reduce costs, and to aid the Atari ST Parallel port device, in the end, Atari was pushing the MIDI capability of the ST rather than the internal sound abilities.
The ST sound chip was similar to the AY-3-8910(12) from General Instruments (it was also pin-compatible with the YM-2149), and this chip was used in computers/consoles such as the Sega Master System, the Sinclair ZX Spectrum 128, Amstrad CPC range, the Mattel Intellivision and the BBC (Acorn) Microcomputer.
Most of the early sound and music was programmed in pure assembler, with the more complicated sounds being created by the programmer who accessed the sound chip directly.

When you're building small cheap systems that only has to generated prerecorded sound, please consider that it may be economical to spend a lot of money, time, sophisticated equipment and software to record and compress the sounds (and even adapt them to strange hardware) so you can make the replay systems as cheap as possible.
The synthesizer chips of PC soundcards are usually designed by Yamaha who is also one of the main synthesizer makers.
Sound effects differ from melodies that they don't use the 12 notes per octave system, but may use gradually alternating frequencies (as a siren does) or that they use noise (as an explosion does).

 Introduction
Of course, computer sound is not the exclusive province of the PC; it is standard on the Macintosh, as well as on Sun and most other high-end "workstations" (Silicon Graphics desktop workstations even include a small video camera for use in video-conferencing as well as a microphone and loudspeakers).
Sound synthesis is a special DSP technique for generating a digital signal that, when converted to analogue and played through a transducer, sounds like a musical instrument.
DSP chips are programmed to apply an algorithmic process to a digitised audio signal or to directly generate an audio signal.

Sound has become an important part of modern layouts, and I decided to add it to the Virginian.
My "sound effects module" is nothing more than an inexpensive compact disk player and a small wooden sound box.

 Coastal Habitats in Puget Sound (CHIPS)
The deterioration of the Puget Sound nearshore is of special concern – the area extending from the top of shoreline bluffs to a depth offshore where sunlight does not reach the bottom, and upstream in estuaries to the head of tidal influence.
Because the nearshore is one of the most productive parts of the Sound, improved understanding of it is vital to restoration and preservation of the entire Sound.

 Chris Dickman: Are Inkjet Cartridge Chips Evil? at Graphic Design Forum Blogs
If you can find such cartridges, that is, since Epson is not hesitant to use the courts to keep other cartridge manufacturers out of the lucrative US market, describing this in one case as "unfair competition through the continued sales of cartridges that are infringing copies of Epson's patented ink cartridges." Competition, certainly.
You tell me. The firm has even gone after consumer groups expressing doubts about the magic of the all-wise chips within Epson cartridges that decide when to say the printing party is over.
Posted by: Chris Dickman at May 23, 2006 04:33 AM I found out from Epson Customer Support that when you are cleaning the heads that you do not close and then open the process to clean again.
