If its anything like the C250 I have, then it's just a matter of selecting
it on the Input tab of Sound Preferences.

I use my C250 for Skype regularly.  I have had problems with it
'disconnecting'.  I sometimes have to unplug it and plug it in again.
Something my brother, who I speak to on Skype, has got used to.  I
invariably make sure it is selected as the sound input device before I
start a Skype conversation.
