Actually I did.  After I typed "Run jack as root", I meant to
replace that line with "Run qjackctl as root", not keep both
lines.

Ok.  I don't know what to make of that.

I set in the Setup window of qjackctl  -> interface: "hw:1"
but actually, this is a good point, I actually 
have _three_ soundcards, I think.  The first is
the completely useless one on the motherboard,
the 2nd is an "audigy2 value" and the third is
the RME.  So, now that you mention it, I would
think it should be hw:2, but somehow I still
think it's "hw:1"  Maybe it's because the motherboard
soundcard is so utterly useless it doesn't even
show up for work?  Er, come to think of it I may have
disabled it in the ROM setup of my computer because
it was only causing problems... I can't recall if I
did that or not.  I am sure I thought about trying to do
it.  In any case, I think "hw:1" is correct, because of this:

Yeah, I set it to "hw:1" so I think it's correct.

Ok, I will have to try that one.
