This is a bit distro specific but where ever you set up your Alsa modules you can set which sound card is considered the default. On my system it looks like this: alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0 options snd-intel8x0 index=0 alias snd-card-1 snd-hdsp options snd-hdsp index=1 I presume that you probably have a driver for the internal device and maybe USB-audio for the mixer. Just set the USB as 1 and the built in as 0 and you should be good to go.
