In most case, your external sound interfaces like SignaLink or Navigator or others shouldn't ever be set as the default audio device.

At least that's what happens when we use it with our TenTec Omni VII at WA2HOM, our club station. It's a little annoying because the SignaLink will key the transmitter every once in a while while doing things on the computer such as accessing a QRZ.Com Web page.
