Please post the error exactly please.

I am guessing you are using KDE. Goto the Control Panel and poke around in the SOUND sections... you'll find a "use full dupley" mode for the sound server.

Uncheck that. Save the settings. Logout and login.

If you still have probs, post the EXACT error message... with codes and all.
