having trouble with Alsa

[Scott Berry]

     i am having trouble when importing files in to Audacity.  I am 
unable to play them and Audacity shows the following message.  I update 
Alsa to the lastest version for 10.04.  Here is the message i have 
recieved from audacity.  I have already taken this to the Audacity list 
with no success so I am hoping some one here can help me.

Error while opening sound device Please check the output device settings 
and the project sample rate.  OK
What do I need to do to make Audacity work again?
