Re: /dev/dsp missing (SOLVED)

I've seen this message durning one reboot (in order to test oss modules load): "/etc/modprobe.conf exists but does not include /etc/modprobe.d/!" I see that my /etc/modprobe.conf is empty (no idea about the reason) I've added include /etc/modprobe.d and now the system loads oss modules on boot:
