They don't tell you much...

Open a terminal and as sudo, use the command "lshw" to identify your sound chip. If you do not have lshw, it should be in the repositories.

The specification mentions 3D Sound Blaster Pro, which may mean nothing. although there is a kernel module for it. See if that module is loading with the command "lsmod" or "lsmod | grep snd".

You might see "snd_hda_intel". Some other HP laptops emulate 3D Pro and use that module.

Look at the documentation for the Windows sound driver to see if it tells you anything more about the sound device.

Post back.
