Hi Terry. If an application is using pulseaudio and is using an input device like a microphone, it will appear in the "Recording" tab of pavucontrol. In there, you should be able to change which input device it uses. Try making a Skype Test Call while watching that tab in pavucontrol and you'll see what I mean.
I'm not familiar with Tox, but a quick search to find out if it used pulseaudio lead me to https://github.com/Tox/toxic/issues/148 which suggests that Tox uses OpenAL and has its own methods to select inputs.
