Jere,y,
Thanks for your speedy reply.
I use the build-in sound card which is advertised as
the NVIDIA MCP72XE/MCP72P/MCP78U/MCP78S High Definition Audio.

I know I should buy a more sophisticated card but boards like the 
Terratec DMX6fire24/96 or M-Audio Delta 410 have prices here in Holland 
which are way over the prices you pay (€189,00 is the cheapest).
Moreover I use it to edit using headphones as audio output for computers 
is, in my opinion very bad or you use a pair of studio monitors (I use 
Yamaha 60 W as output boxes for my E-piano for use in small rooms. As 
I'm a jazz-pianist and people prefer to listen so you don't need 
decibels to go over crowd noise!). But those are expensive.
My jack settings are:
/usr/bin/jackd -dalsa -dhw:0 -r44100 -p1024 -n2.
I hope you can help me out.
