Hi, it could be simply the program you are using. Try it in yahoo messenger or msn
It could be that your voice is too strong.(or to bass) Hi noise levels create cut-out voices. So turn your microphone volume way down, and your program volume UP a little and tweak it.
It could also be the microphone thats built in to the cam. Try plugging in a separate microphone into your computer and see how that performs.

This sounds like a webcam fps (frames per second) issue. It can be caused by several factors from browser cache, to Internet connection, to power. Try this FPS test site. It describes the factors which influence webcam fps, provides recommendations on how to get the best performance, and has a free method to test your webcam fps. Best of luck!
I'm a video game programmer with 20 years experience in software, and have a reasonable understanding movie playback software.
I also have a Nikon (S6100) and the problem is nothing to do with PC memory or CPU speed. The Nikon creates a broken version of the MPEG-4 AVC H.264 format, which results in choppy playback. I've tried Quicktime, VLC and the cameras own player - ViewNX2 - same result for all of them.
Converting the buggy .MOV files the Nikon creates to a .avi format produces perfectly smooth (flawless) video, but with the sound out of sync. I can also create perfect quality (lower res) DVD video, but with the sound missing.
I have spoken to Nikon about all this and they are quite simply clueless and will take no responsibility. As there is no firmware up[date for this camera I'm taking the camera back, as it is basically flawed.
I've read a few sites with customers complaining about choppy video for this camera, so it looks like the model itself is flawed.
Check the microsoft website to see what additional software you need for your model/OS I run a Logitech and need DirectX 9 in addition to the Logitech software
Fill in the details of your cam/OS and check out the "Readme" links
If you are happy with it running on a different OS try running it in Compatibility Mode Right click on the desktop camera icon Select 'Properties' Select 'Compatibility' tab Check the CM mode box and select the OS from the dropdown box Click 'Apply' & 'OK'
Sounds like your CPU may be overloaded. A simple way to check is to do a CTRL-ALT-DEL and look at the performance. See if any application is hogging your resources and, if so, you can change some of the settings to be more friendly to your system.
If the image quality is poor while transmitting video over the Internet
using video enabled programs such as MSN Messenger, Yahoo! or AOL
Instant Messenger, your connection speed to the Internet directly
affects the image quality of the transmitted video. Corporate LAN,
DSL/cable modem connections will result in the best image quality
experience, while dial-up connections may result in choppy and overall
poor quality because of the slower connection speed. Even broadband
connections such as DSL/cable modem may experience choppy video at
times because of Internet traffic or slow upload speeds. If the image
appears clearly in the camera software, most likely your Internet
connection may be responsible for the poor image quality in your video
program.
