I have three hardware "sound devices" currently installed:
1) PCI Card Audiophile 192 - which is my goto device
1) Voicelive Touch USB - which I either use seperately or together with the PCI card
3) The intenal sound which came with the Dell computer.

When I try to get trickly with routing and setting adjustments between all three devices I just ultimatley get confused. So, very early on I fully disabled the interal sound card. And for recording work I more often than not disconnect the VLT USB and use the VLT as an input to the Audiophile via audio cables, so in fact only the Audiophile is on-line. For me it is a matter of keeping it simple so I can focus on the music not the machine. Your milage may vary!
