The USB device is the default sound card because its driver was loaded
before the driver for your main sound card. The driver load order is
random and can change in successive boots.
Hmmm ... the main soundcard is a device built-in to the motherboard, an
infamous Intel ICH4 PCI device. Wouldn't a PCI device be initialized and
driver installed before a USB device?
Use the sound card configuration tool of your
distribution to set a
fixed order that is used regardless of the driver load order.
I use Debian Linux and haven't a clue on how to do that.
