Helllo,

The best way I've found to do this on Windows is by going into Sound, under control panel (Control panel -> Sound) and then click on the " Communications" tab. There, you should see an option to "Mute All Other Sounds" during a call. This actually works with Skype version 4.0+

Thanks

Although it is possible to listen to your music and talk on skype at the same time. You need to understand your volume is usually dimmed 80 to 90%.  Actually skype is not why your volume lowers when you receive a call it is windows that changes the volume when it detects communications activities. You will need to do the following to be able to leave your volume at the percent you want it: First, you need to open the RUN command, second, you need to type mmsys.cpl, third you will need to click communications tab and then select Do Nothing and then save.
