Well, I know a way to detect all your sound cards:

string query = "Select ProductName from Win32_SoundDevice";
ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher(query);
foreach (ManagementObject device in searcher.Get())
    Console.WriteLine("Sound card is {0}", device.GetPropertyValue("ProductName"));
 

There's the first step.
PS, google helps. That's where I found this solution.

I've dug up some more information, but I can't really piece it together myself. I think you are going to have to use the winmm.dll. I think that the method you will need to use is waveOutOpen. I know that you can change the query of the last example to give you a DeviceID. But after that, it's a bit beyond me. Hopefully someone else can help piece it together.
