There are some instructions here:

http://wiki.debian.org/ALSA

But the order the card is detected should not be a problem for your 
USB device, I mean, ideally the first card (the "default" that system 
uses) should be the internal one unless you want to get the sound for 
the headset on every start :-)

I would instist on the basics (volume settings, replugging, select 
the right input/output source, reload alsa service, try with Ekiga that 
is very good to check this kind of devices...)
