You can't force the driver to detect your soundcard if the driver doesn't detect it :-) If you have a supported sound card and are loading the correct driver, then the device will be probed when you load the driver (at boot, after boot, whenever), and the device node will be created at that time if the probe is successful. > I suppose on the 5.2-BETA laptop I should see something similar? You should, yes.
