OSS won't detect supported hd audio device

Hi, I really would like to give a try oss but I can't get it working. It doesn't recognize any audio device when I run

sudo osstest

it gives

Sound subsystem and version: OSS 4.2 (b 2011/201510150157) (0x00040100)
Platform: Linux/x86_64 4.2.3-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Oct 3 18:52:50 CEST 2015

NOTICE! You don't have any audio devices available.
        It looks like your audio hardware was not recognized
        by OSS.
               
        If you have installed OSS just a moment ago then it may be necessary to.
        to rebot the system before trying to use the device(s).

sudo ossinfo -v3

gives

my audio devices

00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 9 Series Chipset Family HD Audio Controller
01:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation GM204 High Definition Audio Controller (rev a1)

I checked if my card was supported in oss's site, and Intel High Definition Audio (PCH) is listed. Then looked for more info of my Intel HD audio device 9 series and it relates to PCH.

I installed oss using aur and

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa_blacklist.conf

to add line: install soundcore /bin/false, then

sudo systemctl enable oss.service

but

ossdetect -v

will not detect the audio devices.

I followed the OSS Installation . Did I miss something? Is my card unsupported?

I would appreciate any help.
