On my system 'pavucontrol' gets me a box with 4 tabs, "Playback",
"Recording", "Output Devices", and "Input Devices".
On my system for "Output Devices" the list at the bottom right shows
"All Output Devices" and the the  "Open Menu", at the top right, when
opened shows only "Default" which is checked. The "Input Devices" tab
shows "All Except Monitors" and again the only selectable item at the
top right is "Default" which is checked.

I think all you need do is make sure that the "Default" option is checked.

Maybe just attempt to configure Skype. You do need to be logged in to
do the configuration.
