I had the same problem on my old hp with an ac97 sound card.
I had to check the box "only 16 bit" or something so in qjackctl.
Ha ! and check the "verbose" option too.

However, if you want to do real audio, you should buy a better sound 
card, this one is creepy. really.

what is your distro ?
kernel ? (output from 'uname -r')

I'm not in front of my audio PC right now, i'll say you more when i'm 
back home

Cheers
