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.
