i can only here audio in skype everything else is silent

Sounds like you didn't change your default audio device to optical.

My personal rig - 4790k 4.8Ghz, Asus Z97 Pro (wi-fi ac), Corsair Dominator Plat 4x8GB, SLI GTX 1080 TI FE, Samsung 850 Evo 1TB, Crucial MX100 512GB, EVGA G3 1000W, and cooled by a hardline liquid cooling loop.

Right click on the speaker button

Click on "Sounds"

Go to Playback tab

Set your Astros as default

 

I downloaded sound switcher so I can just right click a button to change my default sound source.
