When you start jack, it will grab the sound card, which means pulseaudio
can't use it anymore.
You can still make pulseaudio connect with jack, making pulseaudio a
jack client. Default settings in qjackctl make this possible. After
starting jack, you will still need to set pulseaudio to use jack as its
output in pulseaudio settings - also, sometimes you will need to
reinitialize or restart any running pulseaudio applications.

To give you a practical list of steps to take:
1. start jack with qjackctl
2. in pulseaudio settings, set jack as the output
3. now, start any jack or pulseaudio applications
