Sorry but that didn't help. I set my speakers as default and my in skype I only put it for output and input and It would take my mic :/ I can't even set up the mic in this headset.

sorry these are the headsets I have . It worked at the beginning but now my sounds are off. I disable my webcam to see if it helped but it did not.

The headset works via 3.5mm plugs, so you need to play around with the drivers a little.
I presume you plug in speakers via the limegreen socket on the back of the PC and the headset is plugged in via Front Limegreen (headphones) and Pink (mic) sockets.
The way to change around these settings is via the sound device settings - Bring up the window that you show in the screenshot. THEN you rightclick on the Comm.Headphones line and select "Use as standard Communications plackback device" or something similar.
Then you click the "Recording" tab in the same window - there you rightclick your MIC (not the webcam one) and select the same "Use as Standard Communications Recording device"
That should do the trick!
There's a caveat - if you connect your headset to the rear of the PC via a mini-jack splitter for the speakers and you insert the mic jack into the pink socket on the back, you can't do it like this - so for easy setup, connect via front plugs and do teh above setup

Okay well I did that ...and download the software and set it up and now in skype call I hear the video, I try to talk and what is recorded is the video ... lol I'm seriously confused and it's connected in the front of the computer.
Edit :" when I switch between both speaker and headset nothing actually changes. I think my computer just replaces what the speakers are as my headset and prioritize it above the computer speaker.

If you use the windows panel (not the program) - you should be able to differentiate between Default Input/Output device and Default Communication Input/Output device (Input or Output depending on what tab you're under)
If you make your speakers your default output device and your headset default Comms output device, it should work.
About the input - there should only be a choice between the headset mic and the webcam mic.. If there's a Stereo Mix option, don't pick that!.
If you select headset as default input device, that should set it up correctly (assuming that's what you want).

ashardis , I'm a bit confused by making it default input/outpyt on the devices. Did you mean this where it shows the devices and printers? Since when I make it default communication on headset , I can't hear anything at all o.O but it shows it plays music.
