The two things that come to mind are:

1. /dev/dsp is in fact not there... the node may be missing from /dev,
   or the driver may not be loaded.

2. /dev/dsp IS there, and the driver is loaded, but something else has
   it open/locked.  

Some things to try:

 ls -l /dev/dsp
 check dmsg output/syslog for errors about your sound hardware
 lsmod and grep on your driver name (assuming a modular kernel)
 lsof /dev/dsp
