It seems like your sound card doesn't support the requested sampling rate/number of channels or at least the fmod sound library we are using isn't able to initialize it correctly.

If you know which settings are supported by your sound card you may try to change the corresponding settings in the config.lua file (just edit it with a text editor:
--
-- Sampling rate
--
SFX_SAMPLING_RATE = 44100

--
-- Number of channels
--
SFX_CHANNEL_COUNT = 32
)

Otherwise please post the sound card you are using in your system.
