Load the snd-oss module
Eg put
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-1 snd-1
# card #1
alias sound-service-1-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-1-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-1-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-1-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-1-12 snd-pcm-oss
into /etc/modprobe.conf
