Why won't my USB mic work with Facetime?

I use a headset for chatting on my Macbook Pro because the audio quality is better than the stock speakers and built in mic. For some reason today when I'm using Facetime, its only receiving audio input through the built in mic on the laptop. The computer is detecting that there is another mic connected, and it works fine when using Skype or Ventrilo, but won't use it for Facetime. The output works fine. I can still hear everything through my headset, it just won't use my headset mic. It was working correctly with my headset mic last night, and after restarting my computer this afternoon, this problem started. Anyone have any ideas?

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
