OK. I set up Skype once about half a dozen years ago and haven't touched it since. I didn't remember that you could tell
it where to go (for it's audio, that is). And I figured out that you weren't the OP, from whom, it seems, never came
back, not even to thank is for all this potentially useful information.


Skype is great in that it will let you select any sound card it sees independently of all others. However, unless things
have changed (Skype updates about once per month), Skype will not work with a sound card that has only ASIO drivers.
Hopefully they will address the problem one day, but I'm not holding my breath. So long as computer microphones work
with Skype, Microsoft is probably not going to bother.
