You must create a new node of the given class:

var sound = AudioStreamPlayer2D.new()
add_child(sound)

Thank you …

What would be the name of the created node?
It just keeps returning null.

What is returning null? You really should include code and error messages (if any) with your questions. It saves a lot of time.

A newly created node is assigned an automatically generated name.

var sound = AudioStreamPlayer2D.new()
add_child(sound)
print(sound)

The result is @@2. If you want to assign a name use

sound.name = "NewName"
