The problem is that the USB speakers use a built-in soundcard (which is why the snd_usb_audio module is loaded). The soundcard in your pc is the default soundcard.

You can change it, as shown here: http://forum.vectorlinux.com/index.php?topic=4888.0 .
There may also be an easier solution: If the speakers also have audio connectors, you can just connect them to the internal soundcard (intel HDA),  with a cable like this:
