Qin Jian,
This is an ALSA issue. You should try turning off any other application that
might be trying to access the system's sound hardware, like your web
browser.

This is such a lame answer, but one easy thing to try is to reboot your
machine and try to run the GNU Radio app first thing and see if it works
then.
