I use a free app called Audio Switcher and one of the nice things about it is that you can set default input and output for sound so if for example you unplug usb speakers or any sound output device like an external sound card, the system will default to which ever sound path you want. In my case, internal speakers/headphone.
The app shows up in the extras menu and you can easily select any in/out audio you want in just a couple of seconds. I'm very glad I herd about this app. The main drawback is that it doesn't pickup new devices you add to the system after startup. I wish it did. Either restarting or fully closing the app and restarting it updates the device list.
