Is /dev/dsp present after that? I think /etc/udev/rules.d/40-alsa.rules may have something to do with this as well, so you should make sure that file is present and contains the line

Code:

KERNEL=="dsp0", SYMLINK+="dsp"

I have that too... but still, no dsp.

You also need to run alsaconf command, so it will generate a /etc/modprobe.d/sound configuration file
Sorry if you already run this command, but it is not clear if you have run it or not

ok guys, somehow, one of those things helped.. The file is bak, and I can hear now..

The mod I was thinking of is snd-pcm-oss. I had to add a modprobe for that to one of my machines to get /dev/dsp.

root@DarkStar(/home/dive) modinfo snd-pcm-oss
