In general, yes, but not so much by 'preventing' the mixer from being
the default device as much as making the built in sound card the
default.
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.
Hope this helps,
Mark
