Try adding a pair of lines in /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf to
explicitly assign a particular alsa driver to the default card, card 0,
and the other alsa driver to the alternate card, card 1, something like
this:

options snd-hda-intel index=1
options snd-hdsp index=0


Of course you have to modify these statements to correctly name the
proper drivers for your two audio interfaces. But the trick here is
that card 0 is the default output, and card 1 is the secondary or
alternate ihterface.

Add the two lies, perhaps at the bottom of the file, then reboot and
say an appropriate prayer.
