I don't understand why people install pulseaudio, if they don' know how
to use it.

https://askubuntu.com/questions/572120/how-to-use-jack-and-pulseaudio-alsa-at-the-same-time-on-the-same-audio-device

I don't know how to use it, but I never installed pulseaudio and never
will install it.

If you run jackd in a terminal, the output is shown by the terminal.

If you run jackd using Qjackctl, on the left side push the middle
button named "Messages".

Ralf

PS: You should mention what distro/release you are using and how
you start jackd.
