A windows server has no way (that I know) to fake a soundcard (as
opposed to the snd-dummy "fake" audio driver in Linux), and the Skype
clients check if there is a soundcard available, and refuse to do
audio if a soundcard is not available (is stupid, but is like that).

So, your only option is to add a soundcard to the server, a cheap
dongle format USB soundcard would do as well (the soundcard is not
used for anything, but the Skype client check about its existance).
