Why is it that on some USB devices I have to install the driver before
plugging in the device and others after? For example: Hauppauge TV
tuner, plug in device then install driver and the other way around for a
M-Audio audio interface.

I would always plug in the device first, then install driver. Good drivers should not need that extra step. Poor driver would remember the port at which the device was plugged in!
