    The modules you have loaded are OSS (Open Sound System?) modules which
    are installed for compatibilty. You may find you need the alsa modules
    loaded. Alsa (advanced linux sound architecture) modules all start with
    snd-.
    lsmod | grep snd on my pc gives:

    snd-seq-oss 31104 0 (autoclean) (unused)
    snd-seq-midi-event 3712 0 (autoclean) [snd-seq-oss]
    snd-seq 41744 2 (autoclean) [snd-seq-oss
    snd-seq-midi-event]
    snd-intel8x0 21004 1
    snd-ac97-codec 56368 0 [snd-intel8x0]
    snd-pcm-oss 38408 0 (unused)
    snd-mixer-oss 13816 1 [snd-pcm-oss]
    snd-pcm 64416 0 [snd-intel8x0 snd-pcm-oss]
    snd-timer 16900 0 [snd-seq snd-pcm]
    gameport 1436 0 [snd-intel8x0]
    snd-mpu401-uart 4064 0 [snd-intel8x0]
    snd-rawmidi 14976 0 [snd-mpu401-uart]
    snd-seq-device 4308 0 [snd-seq-oss snd-seq snd-rawmidi]
    snd 37380 0 [snd-seq-oss snd-seq-midi-event
    snd-seq snd-intel8x0 snd-ac97-codec snd-pcm-oss snd-mixer-oss snd-pcm
    snd-timer snd-mpu401-uart snd-rawmidi snd-seq-device]
    snd-page-alloc 5324 0 [snd-seq-oss snd-seq snd-intel8x0
    snd-mixer-oss snd-pcm snd-timer snd-rawmidi snd-seq-device snd]
    soundcore 3876 6 [snd]

    Try modprobe (the above to suit what you want)
    Alternatively install alsaconf.
