Might have to unload and reload the module for the card, since I suspect
that is when the firmware is loaded.

The simple solution would be to just reboot of course but you don't have
to.

If you find the module name
lsmod |grep emu (I think the driver is emu something)

then do
modprobe -r snd-emu... (whatever you found)

then
udevtrigger
to reload drivers for any present hardware not already handled.

Hopefully the driver will find the firmware and load it automatically
this time.  Certainly the ivtv drivers I have that use firmware files
behave that way.
