I think you'll find that the problem is that Skype actually turns the sound 
levels down on the non-used inputs and outputs (at least on that card - on 
my dual-soundcard 2000 machine, Skype turns all the levels down on the 
soundcard that has the headset plugged into it, but leaves the other levels 
alone.)  So just attaching another speaker is fruitless.

What you need is a macro program that, on Skype's exit or if Skype isn't 
running, can turn the sound levels back to normal.  Or a little desktop 
icon (like Wizmo) may be able to do such a thing manually.

HTH,

Paul
