Ok, this may be a silly question, but, if you are trying this as user, you
belong to the audio group, right?
We have
faheem ~>ls -la /dev/audio
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 4 Apr 14 2001 /dev/audio
If you haven't you can do so using the command
adduser username audio
Remember to log out and back in again so the change can take effect.
If this not your problem, let us know.
Faheem.
