So, here is the name of the usb camera:

alsa_input.usb-046d_HD_Webcam_C525_698364D0-00-C525.analog-mono

I then tried the command:

pcmd set-default-source
alsa_input.usb-046d_HD_Webcam_C525_698364D0-00-C525.analog-mono

It worked at first but when I rebooted the computer it was set on the
regular microphone outlet...
I think that pulseaudio control panel is in conflict with mate sound
control panel because when I switch
on the usb camera microphone the the regular mate sound control panel
it does not work, whereas if I turn it on through pulseaudio control
panel
it does work. I do not know if I remove pulseaudio control panel from
the computer, if it will work...
Is there a way maybe to modify skype desktop shortcut so that it will
automatically launch the right
audio source input device?

In reply to#171785
1) pacmd modifies only a running instance of pulseaudio: all is lost
when pulseaudio stops
2) to alter permanently the default source input in pulseaudio, you may
edit your client config' file (cf man pulse-client.conf)
3) mate-media depends either on mate-media-gstreamer or
mate-media-pulse: if the former is installed, install
gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio and gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio in order for the
mate sound control to manage pulseaudio
4) I do not know the mate sound applet, but judging by the xfce applet I
use, you probably have to select pulseaudio instead of alsa in its
config dialog
