Both are USB devices.  To configure which one is the default device,
use the appropriate configuration tool of your distribution.

This message is trying to tell you that alsamixer did not find any
playback controls for this device.  The reason for this might be that
your device actually does not have any playback controls.

This is common with USB devices; you have to use the hardware controls
of the device itself.

(Does the Fast Track Ultra actually run with Linux?)
