1) Check this thread (basically, check that your system meets the requirements): http://gamedev.enigmadream.com/index.php?topic=1029.msg5246#msg5246 (http://gamedev.enigmadream.com/index.php?topic=1029.msg5246#msg5246)
2) Describe exactly how you installed the program... did you extract the files to a folder and run Setup.exe?  (You're not trying to run the program without installing it or trying to run the installer without extracting it are you?)

I suspect it's some problem with the sound card/drivers.  Try opening a project in the IDE and playing some sounds in the Media Manager window.
