POD HD 500 - Can't change default audio device when pod is plugged into USB

I've had this problem for quite some time.  Whenever the POD HD500 is plugged into my computer via USB (which is use constantly for L6edit), Windwos 7 will not let me change the default audio device for listening to music (outside of my DAW), and furthermore the pod won't allow me to play music through media player, etc.  So, I have to constantly plug and unplug the USB, which is more than annoying.  I've gone in through every audio setting I can find, and it literally won't allow me to change the default device to my stock sound card or my firewire solo.  Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
