DSL WOES HELP!

[JimH]

You can't get sound out of anything?

Try starting the cd player or xmms in a terminal window and see if ti displays any errors?

Might also try hitting CRTL-ALT_F! and see if any errors are on displayed there.

Hit CRTL-ALT-F7 to get back to X.

OK...in Sound Server/Sound I/O, I tried to change the Sound I/O method to ALSA and when i clicked apply, I got an error message that says:
Sound server informational message:
Error while initializing the sound drive:
device: /dev/dsp can't be opened (invalid argument)
The sound server will continue, using the null output device.

What does that mean?
And how do I fix it?
