Dear BeomJun, Gareth might be able to help you with the specifics of the error you are getting, but in general LCMV beamformer is not a suitable method for analysis of evoked responses and especially auditory evoked responses which have prominent synchronous bilateral activity. I would suggest you use the imaging source reconstruction methods available in SPM for that.
