On a normal day I want all audio to be output via the sound card and
speakers. But whenever I might make or receive a Skpe or Zoom connection,
I want those speakers to be silent and audio to be output via the USB
headset, and the headset's microphone to capture my voice and send it to
the person on the other end of the line.
Please look at this
Note that this and a lot of other similar how-tos suggest using Pulse. In my own case, using Ubuntu, my default config automatically switches to usb headset when plugged in and back to internal sound card when usb headset unplugged.
