Set Correct Default Audio Device. The problem of Skype Audio not working in Windows 10 might be related to incorrect Audio device settings. Right-click on the Sound icon located in the bottom right corner of the Taskbar and click on Sounds in the menu that appears. Start Jabber for Windows application and after the sign-in, select the cog's drop-down menu, File Options. On the left side of the options screen, select the audio and press the Advanced button on the bottom right. From the Advanced audio options window, PC's defaulted devices are selected.

Windows 10 Sound Set Default Greyed Outputs
Hello! I'm getting desperate and I hope you guys can help me.
I am running a WinXP SP2 machine, with a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS.
One day, during a Windows session, my sound just stopped working. I tried to play a song in Winamp, and got the message: 'Device not found. Please select another device in configuration. Error code: 88780078.' The window title was 'DirectSound output v2.2.12 error'.
Trying to play a song in Windows Media Player yielded a simlar result: 'Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with your sound device. There might not be a sound device installed on your computer, it might be in use by another program, or it might not be functioning properly.'
Opening Sounds and Audio Devices under Control Panel, I find that in the Volume tab it says 'No Audio Device'. Clicking to the Audio tab, under Sound Playback, for Default Device it says 'No Playback Devices'. The area is grayed-out and I cannot select anything. Oddly, under Sound Recording, 'SB Audigy 2 ZS Audio [9400]' is listed, and the Audigy MIDI synth is also listed under MIDI Music Playback. Looking in the Device Manager, 'Creative Audigy 2 ZS (WDM)' shows up fine under Sound, Video and Game Controllers, and there are no conflicts here whatsoever.
I've tried all of the following fixes:
1) Uninstalling and reinstalling sound drivers
2) Reinstalling DirectX
3) Editing/Restoring System.ini
4) Using the Computer Management tool, under Services and Applications > Services > Windows Audio, restarting the AudioSrv service
5) Replacing the streamci.dll file in C:WindowsSystem32
So far, nothing has worked. Please help!
