    So today I'm talking to my friend on skype vocally, and to my sister, typing.
    If my sister's window wasn't selected, upon receiving a msg from her, the volume in skype's vocal conversation would cut for a good 2/3 sec.

    I have external speakers set. The problem was that the computer concidered there was both headphones and speakers at the same time in the playback device window, so I disabled the headphones device and let the "speakers" it now works :D

    Hopefully this will help other people in solving this matter :)
