Question no sound

When I try to play music I've downloaded I have no sound. When I put a CD in I have sound. I keep getting a error message about the sound it reads.
Sound server informational message. Error while initializing the sound driver: device/dev/dsp can not be opened (no such device) The sound server will continue, using the null output device. Does someone know about this?

Well as far as I know if you don't have the /dev/dsp device it means that the kernel wasn't able to proper detect you sound card and/or load the correct driver ...

Take a look at the ouput of dmesg for any revelant info and also say what sounf card you have ...
Maybe with that info someone could help you ...
