skype wont play sound through headphones

I just want to see if the headset isn't dead or not and I'm just experiencing software problems.

I'm not sure if its due to my soundcard causing interference or something else, but I'd like to ensure a surefire way to make this work or not. There was ONE time it did play through my headphones, and that was the only time before I never got to hear it again. Rarely, sometimes the sound does play, but only through my computer audio, most likely due to selecting 'Hear VR Audio from Computer' but this only happens one every few runs. I even enabled the 'Hear VR Audio from Computer' and 'Hear computer audio in VR' but I don't hear anything in the VR headset regardless nor can I hear the oculus games when launched through the Oculus Launcher. To check that go to Media Player,Tools-options-Devices tab-highight speaker then click on properties, audio device should be default direct sound device.Click on advance, and a pop up box should appear with the settings of your default device. I've gone through my sound settings and changed my output device on my Windows, and in the Oculus Settings page, I selected Rift Headphones as the option to play the sounds. I realised after trying everything suggested on the net that it was my default audio device that was the issue.

Not sure if it matters but I am using Logitech G430 headphones. Every other program (be it Spotify, Google Chrome or CS:GO.) plays sound normally through my headphones. This happened pretty suddenly, but now I can't hear audio through my Oculus Rift anymore. The problem is that in-game sound, no matter what, won't play through my headphones.
