these are the OSS devices, these days emulated by ALSA. As OSS is deprecated, go to the control center, soundsystem, hardware and choose ALSA. Unfortunately this will not help applications which are still written to use OSS (like firefox, Skype and so on). If you need them, you need to figure out what goes wrong with the OSS emulation of ALSA. Maybe a prob of improper device rights (try an app which needs OSS as root)?
