This is indeed strange. Do you see all devices in the devices tab of the
pulseaudio manager? What modules are loaded? For me it's
module-alsa-sink and -source for each sound card (onboard intel and usb
ua-25) so four in total. All this gets setup correctly with my standard
Ubuntu install which utilises just module-hal-detect (in
/etc/pulse/default.pa) to load all the aforementioned modules.

Does your pulseaudio work without the jack-modules loaded? I would try
this first. Note also, when you use the jack modules, jack usually grabs
  the soundcard exclusively so the normal pulseaudio module-alsa-...
won't work for that sound card. I have a different pulseaudio config
file for jack which doesn't load the module-alsa-* modules, so all sound
goes over jack. You can also load and unload those modules at runtime
but a different config file and restarting pulseaudio seemed easier.

That's what I'd expect with your described scenario.

Hope that makes any sense. Hope it helps.

Best,
