I get this massage: usermod: Permission denied. usermod: cannot lock /etc/passwd; try again later after trying to add myself to audio group by: usermod -a -G audio USERNAME.

I would be grateful for any help.

You need to run usermod as root, you can do this with sudo:

sudo usermod -a -G audio USERNAME
