On Linux 32-bit float is the default [1]. If it should be impossible to
get access via command line on another operating system, you likely have
access by a GUI, maybe qjackctl. Perhaps there's an advanced settings
tab were you could uncheck "force n bit", as there is for the Linux
version of qjackctl.

[1]$ man jackd | grep -e shorts -e bit-depth -A1
       -S, --shorts
              Try to configure card for 16-bit samples first, only trying 32-bits if unsuccessful.  Default is to prefer 32-bit samples.

       -b, --bit-depth int
              Sample bit-depth (0 for float, 8 for 8bit and 16 for 16bit) (default: 0)
