[Jackaudio] Distorted sound after upgrade to Kubuntu 22.10

Dear list members, I'm quite new to Jack and just subscribed to this mailing list. First, let me say a warm Hello to everyone! *Now to my problem.* Since I upgraded Kubuntu 20.04 LTS to 22.04 (and also to 22.10), the sound I hear is distorted. Even when the sound source is very quiet, the sound is distorted. As if somewhere, the input signal is way too high. I tried a few different settings in the Jack Audio Connection Kit, at no avail. Of course, I did ample research at Brother Google and found seemingly similar problems. The advice that was given there, was either not applicable to my situation, or was far beyond my skills to actually digg that far into my Linux OS (I'm a chemistry teacher at a Dutch high school, not an IT professional ;-). Thus made me decide to ask for help here! My soundcard is a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2, The version of the software is the following: jackd: 5+nmu1; jackd2 & libjack-jackd2-0: 1.9.21; qjackctl: 0.9.7-1 Below that is the output of the Messages in QjackCtl. Maybe and hopefully, that some skilled eye finds some occurring error ...
