Have you tried disabling Network Manager applet while running audio (by
right-clicking on the app and turning of networking)?  You can then turn it
back on once you are finished recording.  If that works, it would mean you
would not be able to have your Internet connection while running JACK.

I have in the past had no problems with Network Manager on one version of
Ubuntu, only to find that it caused a lot of trouble on the next release.
