If you are experiencing a sound quality problem on your Skype, there might be a problem with either the headphone or internet connection. These are the explanations.
1. HeadPhone Problem - This can be a problem especially if you are using a low quality headphone for Skyping. Skype requires a higher quality headphone for video calling/conversation.
2. Internet Connection - If you are using a Dial up connection, this might be the problem. Make sure that you use a DSL type of connection for better video and audio quality.
You can buy headphones/headsets best for Skyping here:
