Are you in the audio group? Else just add rw to the devices (chmod 766
/dev/dsp /dev/audio). If this is not the problem, then: are you sure
your kernel was compiled to support audio? This should appear at booting

Ahh, yes, it is a bit of a nightmare... I had to suffer with this also
and interestingly, the device dsp doesn't work as it should...
