## Soundcard Information

This page displays information about any soundcards installed in the system.

The exact information displayed is system-dependent. On some systems, soundcard information cannot be displayed yet.

On &Linux;, this information is read either from `/dev/sndstat`, if present, or from `/proc/sound`, which is only available if the `/proc` pseudo-filesystem is compiled into the (2.1.x or later) kernel.

The user cannot modify any settings on this page.
