I take it your understanding of device files is rather fleeting?
The answer is NO. Not having /dev/dsp means one of several things:

a) You are not using udev, and the file never was created. This is
remedied by running MAKEDEV appropriately.
b) You are using udev, and there is no sound driver loaded. This means
you'll have to find the correct sound driver and make sure it can be
loaded. Details differ widely.
c) You are using udev with an ALSA sound driver without OSS emulation.
Look in /dev/snd, note that these files are used differently.
d) You are using udev, but the configuration is such that /dev/dsp isn't
ever created. Read the udev documentation on how to change that.
e) Possibly some other reason I can't think of now.
