OpenSuse Tumbleweed - ALSA not seeing audio

Hey everyone,

So I'm having a little trouble with ALSA seeing my audio output from my NVIDIA card.

I moved to OpenSuse Tumbleweed from Debian 10 Buster, on buster the Display Port would send audio out to my monitor, and I would have a sound card that I could change between the internal PC audio, and the display port audio.

I', running ALSA version k5.6.11-1-default, and kernel 5.6.11-1-default

As you can see, the output of aplay -L only sees my Intel card.

sudo aplay -L

Code:null

I'm assuming that the ALSA kernel modules are not correctly loaded, which is why tumbleweed is not seeing my NVIDIA audio card, but I am fairly new to openSuse, and only just beginning my journey into Linux.

If this is the case, then how do I update the ALSA kernel modules?latest?d=yIl2AUoC8zA latest?i=1VEHKkyLeek:EBB_bdbehTo:F7zBnMy latest?i=1VEHKkyLeek:EBB_bdbehTo:V_sGLiP latest?d=qj6IDK7rITs latest?i=1VEHKkyLeek:EBB_bdbehTo:gIN9vFw1VEHKkyLeek
