Click Edit > Preferences: Audio I/O and choose the USB interface as the "Recording Device". If the interface lets you plug headphones in to monitor the sound, set the "Playback Device" to the interface as well. Otherwise set the playback device to your inbuilt sound device. See this Wiki page if you need more help.
