how exactly did you change between them? When I went to the input tab and tabbed to the combo box where you make the selection winamp or sound card, I only had two options there and not 3. So when I went to sound card with the USB mic plugged in it used it for the sound card. Only once I unplugged it was the sound blaster the sound card. Are you saying you have more options there? or are you using something other than the shoutcast dsp plug in? oddcast had the capibilities to switch between cards for the input source but I am required to use shoutcast by the client.
