Skype Audio Issues When Screen Sharing

I’m using a new laptop (Lenovo Z50) with Windows 8.1. I am trying to use the sharing screen option on Skype to simultaneously watch a video with someone. I am playing the video on my laptop. The other person cannot hear the audio. She can see the video fine. I can see the video and hear the audio on my laptop fine. The problem is the transfer of audio to her computer from my laptop via Skype.

I have been trying to google a solution. It is possible that the problem MAY be related to my new laptop not having a “Stereo Mix” sound option. My new laptop has “Conexant SmartAudio HD.” There are no other sound options for my current laptop, and I have enabled “show disabled options” in the Control Panel to be sure.

Please help me before I go insane.
