The other person can’t hear my voice
If other people can’t hear your voice the problem is most likely with your microphone or the other person’s speakers.
1. In Skype, open Tools > Options > Audio settings. If the microphone volume meter responds to your voice, then the problem is most likely with your contact’s speakers. Ask him/her to follow the steps in the section I think there is a problem with my speakers.
2. If the volume meter doesn't react to your voice, go to the section I think there is a problem with my microphone.
