spinymouse at precise:~$ jackd -dalsa -D -Phw:0,0 -Chw:0,0

is ok for my Precise and the HDSPe AIO.

If I start jack by QJackCtl, it's ok with and without D-Bus Interface
enabled.

HDSPMixer is version 1.11, it's the Precise default. I listed /usr/src,
I only compiled a kernel, nothing else, but the default lowlatency is ok
too.

I only removed the pulseaudio packages, but PA for sure didn't cause the
trouble you've got. I'm clueless. Usually I would recommend RME cards,
to get no or at least less trouble. I had to use Envy24 before, because
I couldn't pay for another card. FWIW Linux Envy24 support also is very
good, but I prefer RME.

I hope you don't need the tablet and the audio card at the same time,
until your issue isn't solved.

Around midnight here, so good night,
