start 'pavucontrol'   (maybe you have to install it first: sudo apt-get install pavucontrol)

then the most right menu should be "Configuration" .

There you you should see your sound cards.
Choose the one you would like to use within jack, go the profile menu, where you can select between "stereo, 5.1, ..".
The last option is "off". Once you choose that, pulseaudio releases it and it can be used by jack.

You still have to choose that sound card within e.g. qjacktctl as the desired sound card.
That's all I had to do.

Good luck,
best regards,
Peter
