Which device is missing, /dev/dsp? You need OSS emulation for that one
to be present. (OSS is the old sound system. ALSA, the new one, provides
legacy support for application which still expect the OSS-specific
devices to be present.)

Try to do (as root):

modprobe snd_pcm_oss

If that does not help then you should post the output of

cat /dev/sndstat

and the error messages that you get from running "amixer".
