Just set the computer's sound card as default. Most programs now allow you 
to choose which sound card is the default. You don't want the radio's sound 
card to be the default ever no matter what, I hear it all the time where 
people use their radio's sound card or their sound card digital interface as 
default sound card and their windows sounds keep going out on the air. If 
you set the computer's sound card as the default, that should fix your 
problem with the wav files and you should be able to select which sound card 
any program  that needs the card uses.
