Is there a way of creating a dummy sound card on an EC2 instance?

Unable to find snd-dummy, or any other other snd-modules using modprobe.

sudo apt-get install linux-generic, also didn't exactly help.

My goal is to run alsa with a dummy sound card.

lscpi output:

00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 440FX - 82441FX PMC [Natoma] (rev 02)
00:01.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82371SB PIIX3 ISA [Natoma/Triton II]

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Cirrus Logic GD 5446
00:03.0 Unassigned class [ff80]: XenSource, Inc. Xen Platform Device (rev 01)

uname output:

Linux 5.4.0-1037-aws

lsb_release -a output:

No LSB modules are available. 
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS
Release:        18.04
Codename:       bionic

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
