Have you checked what it says? That /dev/audio exists?
   Try:  ls -al /dev/audio
You should see something like:
   crw-rw----    1 root     audio     14,   4 Sep  3  1999 /dev/audio 

It's possible not all the device files are there. You should be able to fix
this by going:
  cd /dev
  ./MAKEDEV audio

Note that as listed above, only "root" and the "audio" group have access to the
audio device. If you want a user to access them, then one way is to add them to
the "audio" group. As root, edit /etc/group, and append the username to the end
of the line for the audio group.
