Ok, so what sound card are you using?  Also explain a little about you speaker 
setup - such as you have external speakers and headphones at the same time?  
Or, is it that you're switching between the two (also a bit of a mystery why 
you have 3 dsp devices with skype)?  Could be something to do with the sound 
cards output ports on the device or the software config that is routing the 
signals.

Cheers, Curtis.
