Same issue for my Logitech USB headset. The problem appeared in 14.04
LTS. Before that release the feature worked by accident or by
specification :-)

Now, after plugging in USB headset to answer skype, I have to go to
audio preference and change 2 settings for Audio Input / recording
devices and for playback devices. See attached pictures.

Regards, Alex

Title:
  USB headset mic not picked when I plug headset in

Status in “pulseaudio” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: pulseaudio

  Whenever I plugged in my old audio jack headset, sound was immediately
  diverted from my speakers to the headset speakers, and the microphone
  was immediately available.

  When I plug in my new USB headset, I have to open Sound Preferences
  and switch both input to the headset. (Output is selected
  automatically, but I'm not sure if the first time it wasn't.)

  Aparrently this is a bug, not a configuration problem on my side. This may be a duplicate of or related to the following bugs - but none of these bugs described my specific issue (USB headset mic is not automatically picked):
