XMMS "Couldnt Open Audio"


Vector Linux, 5.8 Gold. Using XMMS every time i try to run an mp3 file it gives me an error

"Couldnt Open Audio

Please check that:
Your soundcard is configured properly
You have the correct output plugin selected
No other program is blocking the soundcard"

ive searched for every possible sound option in here and in wikis... im completely lost at this point.

should note im supernoob for linux : /

Does this problem occur on all mp3's, or just the one? If it's the latter then the file is probably corrupted in some way
