Go to the "Setup" screen in Qjackctl. Under the "Interface" box,
highlight the existing entry, be it HW:0 or "default" or whatever. Type
"multi" in its place and hit ok. Then try it...
The other was "ttable" which may have worked but I don't remember. Same
procedure, just highlite the entry present and type the new one in.
