| Code: | modprobe -r snd-pcm-oss
modprobe snd-pcm-oss |
That should trigger udev to recreate /dev/dsp |

NOPS Dint work.
Im not sure but i guess i have redirected the input or output of /dev/dsp to other command or file rather than its default input and output.
VLC player also can't find the sound device. |

I FIXED IT.
I had to set the permissions for group and add normal user to that group. Following files are needed to be set:-
/dev/dsp
/dev/audio
/dev/mixer |
