/dev/dsp is an OSS device. ALSA can emulate it for you, but it needs
adjusting /etc/modules.conf (or even /etc/modules.d/alsa, depending on
the system). Mine (yes, I have a bunch of USB devices) reads as:
alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss
alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss
options snd device_mode=0666
options snd cards_limit=8
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0
alias snd-card-1 snd-intel8x0m
alias snd-card-2 snd-usb-audio
alias snd-card-3 snd-usb-audio
alias snd-card-4 snd-usb-audio
alias snd-card-5 snd-usb-audio
alias snd-card-6 snd-usb-audio
# alias snd-card-7 snd-virmidi
options snd-intel8x0 index=0
options snd-intel8x0m index=1
