In a terminal enter:
groups

you should get a list of groups the current user is a member of. One of 
them should be audio. If not:
sudo adduser <username> audio


ls /etc/security/limits.d/
should show:
audio.conf
if jack was installed correctly. If instead you have:
audio.conf.disabled

Then:
sudo mv /etc/security/limits.d/audio.conf.disabled /etc/security/limits.d/audio.conf

This will make sure jack is actually using what the lowlatency kernel 
offers.
