Rob, The biggest issue I've run into with Jack not starting usually get down to a few things:
-Something else has already grabbed the sound card (Pulseaudio - while it can be made to co-exist with Jack - is bad for this) -Some sound cards (especially USB based sound cards) that won't work unless you force Jack to use 16-bit mode with the -S parameter -Sample rate mismatches and sound cards that only like to run at one sample rate -Some sound cards only like the periods / buffer setting to be 2, some only want it to be 3, and others are fine with anything you give it -The user running Jack not being a member of the audio group (and some systems don't let you run Jack in Realtime mode, but this is usually a setting in limits.conf that hasn't been configured properly) Between the above I've managed to get Jack to run even on the pickiest systems. But I admit that sometimes it can take several tries to figure out where the difficulty is and / or what settings will work reliably.
