hi,

Have a look in specs on the net (googling ?) Sorry, but did you RTFM ?

If it's a cheap soundcard, it probably doesn't have a "midi online synthetiser" (you probably mean a "hardware synth"? then you won't see it in lspci...)

Just use some software synth like zynaddsubfx or amsynth... it does a good job as well!
