Skype blocks all sound sources in Win7

As per: http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows/Skype-blocks-other-sound-sources-in-Win7/td-p/90

 

This issue is driving me crazy. If I'm playing music in Zune or my browser - or anywhere - Skype will interrupt/block all sound from the system for a moment. If someone calls me it also blocks it for a moment, the same as IM, before both the music returns and Skype begins ringing.

 

I have set communication to "do nothing", as well as trying the others. Same issue. Skype always interrupts the sound.

 

Win7 64-bit with Skype 5.6.59.110

 

How do I prevent Skype blocking all sound sources when there is communication activity?
