You haven't provided a lot of information (sound card, dmesg etc...) but try 
this:

Add this in your /etc/sysctl.conf file:
hw.snd.pcm0.vchans=4
hw.snd.maxautovchans=4

Hi,

I recently had a similar problem in KDE.  The way
I tracked it down was to fstat|grep dsp in order
to see what had the device file open.

What prompted
this was I had been running skype and, after being
disconnected, I was unable to reconnect.  It turned
out that konqueror had grabbed the device when I played
a media file and hadn't released it afterward.

Hope this helps,

Duane Whitty
