jack server is not running and cannot be started- Audacity

[OhHamburgers]

Hello everyone! been a while since my last post but I am completely stumped on this one. I've been an Ubuntu user since 10.04 but I am still pretty new when it comes to to some of the configurations.

I noticed that Audacity was no longer launching so I ran it from the terminal to see where it was hanging. here is the output:

I have a Xonar D1 as my soundcard. Works really well.

I have messed with Jack server settings and it is able to run by itself when I run it manually. I'm not really sure where to go from here. I'm a bit of a newbie.

Thanks!

Does anyone have any idea on what might be the issue? I was really hoping not to have to reinstall to solve this

If you need more information from my system I would be happy to get it for you!
