Yes, unfortunately you have to use headphones or switch the mic off- 
caused me no end of issues with recording hunting for a hidden mic 
pickup in the settings ;)

I'm not 100% sure how skype works myself, but does it have a audio 
settings list? Where do you tell it where to output audio? It should 
offer an option for input too. I don't know if your usbconfig actually 
needs tweaking of you can pick up sound. Maybe check your LD environment 
variables.
