Left click the sound icon in the bottom right and choose mixer.

From there you should be able to change the output for different programs.

Right-click on Volume icon, "Playback devices", select default defice (for movies etc)
You can set which device to use for Skype calls from Tools | Options | Audio.

This is correct.

Most media and communication applications, including Skype and most media players, allow the user to select the desired audio output device. I know that this is true for Skype, MPC-HC, VLC Media Player, and XBMC.
