I just installed Ubuntu trusty (on crouton on an Acer Chromebook), and am trying to get sound going (so I can run Super-Collider.)

Upon the advice of various webpages I've come across that discuss installation of Super-Collider, I've tried:

• removing pulseaudio
  
• adding myself to the "hwaudio" group
  
• adding '@audio' entries to /etc/security/limits.conf
  

But I always get "Could not connect to JACK server as client" when I run qjackctl.

This is the output I get when I run qjackctl.   I've tried changing the interface to both 'cras' and 'hw:DAISY12S', but neither work.

My apologies if I'm asking this in the wrong place, or if I'm not giving enough info.  I'll ask elsewhere if that's more appropriate.   But any advice or suggestions would be much appreciated!
