I took your suggestion and turned off all of the Capture settings on
the X-Fi, obviously I had to leave it on the USB mic to get audio
through.  Still having the issue.

My mixer settings for capture on the X-Fi are Master, PCM, Line-in,
Mic and S/PDIF-in.  Most of them had capture enabled, I disabled all
of them.  There doesn't appear to be an input setting.

The lone mixer setting for my USB mic (AK5370) is mic, which is set to
100% and LR Capture.

Everything seems pretty covered in there.
