I am really not qualified to help, but maybe this will jog your own mind
 to a new possibility.  If sound is an option on your mother board, it
should be turned off for a sound card to work properly.  I am not
instructed, so maybe this isn't right, however, if I am, you must turn
off the onboard sound and there won't be anything to switch back and
forth with.  The computer should go straight to your sound card then.
You were given good advice about the midi, though.  That was a problem
for a short time with my installation.  I adjusted the volume up on the
midi where I was able; now the sound is both good and healthy.  Sounds
great.  Maybe the bios is where you turn off the onboard sound, I don't
know; you may even have to do it on the motherboard itself.  I just
don't know.
