If you are starting jack with a command line like:
jackd <parameters>
or you start an application that expects to use jack without jack 
already running, then this behavior is expected. If you use 
ubuntustudio-controls or qjackctl (with default settings) to start jack 
right after session start then you will be starting jackdbus and pulse 
will be bridged to jackdbus and the audio should go to whatever jackdbus 
has for  system_1 and system_2. If you are not using system_1 and 
system_2 as your outputs (some audio devices have the monitor outputs 
elsewhere) then you would want to use ubuntustudio-controls where you 
can set your outputs to some other consecutive outputs.
