Thanks! This was the problem. I stopped jackd, opened pavucontrol and
discovered that the device was set to 50%. With jackd running, that
device didn't even show up in pavucontrol. Stopping jackd, setting the
device to 100% in pavucontrol, and then restarting jackd appears to
have "fixed" it.

I've also disabled the card in the configuration section as you
mentioned.

... and I'll be executing these too!
