Thanks Nigel. I verified arts is disabled. I also tried it with TWM...no 
good. Here's what you suggested i post:

lspci:
This is an older SB16 PnP ISA card. I gotta feeling the problem is the card
No modems nor such

Here's the exact error when I run qjackctl:

JACK compiled with System V SHM support.
loading driver ..
creating alsa driver ... hw:0|hw:0|1024|2|48000|0|0|nomon|swmeter|-|32bit
control device hw:0
configuring for 48000Hz, period = 1024 frames, buffer = 2 periods
Couldn't open hw:0 for 32bit samples trying 24bit instead
Couldn't open hw:0 for 24bit samples trying 16bit instead
Sorry. The audio interface "hw:0" doesn't support any of the hardware 
sample formats that JACK's alsa-driver can use.
ALSA: cannot configure capture channel
cannot load driver module alsa
no message buffer overruns

Again, many thanks. And if it's the hardware, I'll just have to break 
the bank and buy a Delta
