This sounds similar to a problem I had with jackd a while ago,
hence my question about which jack version you're using.
If it's > 0.99.36  and < 0.103 there's a divide by zero error in jackd
that gets triggered at seemingly random times. It drove me nuts for weeks
until I found the cause and made a workaround patch. It got fixed properly
in 0.103. If your version is one of the aforementioned, there's a good
chance that's the culprit.
