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
