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.
