Modules

Getch have build some kernel options as Module, you might need some one if it is not automatically loaded by udev.

List them

# find /lib/modules/<kernel version>/ -type f -iname '*.o' -or -iname '*.ko' -or -iname '*.ko.xz' | less

For example my sound card use the module snd-usb-audio:

/lib/modules/5.6.11-gentoo/kernel/sound/usb/snd-usb-audio.ko.xz

Modprobe

For load this module, use modprobe:

# modprobe snd-usb-audio

Persistent

To make this persistant, add them to /etc/modules-load.d, like this:

# mkdir -p /etc/modules-load.d
# nano -w /etc/modules-load.d/sound.conf
snd-usb-audio

One module per line
