Dear Kaj,
thanks for Your help.
I've installed the lowlatency kernel and I've also reinstalled qjackctl and
pd, from the ubuntu repositorys.
But I still do have the problem, that I don't hear any sound.
I opened Your patch signal-example and I can see the "cables".
But I can't hear any sound!
I don't have the option "compute" audio.
When I click DSP, nothing happens.
Shall I install a newer or older version from source?
