If you tell Windows to use the external sound card in its settings for both playback and recording it will always use the external sound card for you for your media. You must tell your screen reader to use the other / internal sound card in its settings. For JAWS you can do insert j then u then o then review the list of available sound cards. In that list you choose the internal sound card with enter key. It will have a check mark or will say in speech checked. This is what i do here.

I have found no need to then configure multiple players such as Winamp, windows Media, and Quicktimes along with itunes. I did configure Winamp though to ensure it uses my roland sound card and not the internal one because I use Winamp a lot.
