You'll need to indicate whether you are using udev or devfsd
or not and your kernel version, I think, before folks can
help you much.

If you are using udev or devfsd, /dev/dsp will appear when
the correct module for your soundcard is loaded.

If not you will need to create it.  You should probably go
read the Sound-HOWTO.
