Make sure Skype is using PulseAudio server (local) for all three of
options (mic, speakers, ringing). Click on the "Open PulseAudio Volume
Control".

While that's open, click "Make a test sound" on Skype and while the VU
meter associated with Skype's sounds displays in the PulseAudio window,
select the correct output sink device. You have to be quick (it's one
thing I hate about Pulse--chasing transient sounds like this).
