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.

Your system probably uses pulseaudio, so you might be better with the
pavucontrol program since that's the mixer that comes with Pulseaudio.
That took me a bit further forward; in the 'Input Devices' tab of the
pavucontrol program, I can see the USB Mic levels changing as I speak, so I
know that a bit more works than I did before.
I still can't get the audio to another piece of software on the computer,
other than Skype.
Can anyone think what other utility or kernel module might be needed to
route
the incoming stream from the USB Mic to compatible communication programs
on
the machine?

I discovered
arecord -d 10 test-mic.wav and
aplay test-mic.wav
to test out my microphones.
