First Make sure that both you and the person you are calling are using the latest version of Skype.

If your contact cannot hear you, it can be either on your side or theirs.
Please confirm that you have done the following:
If you go in the Tool menu, then Options, you will get a section called Audio settings.
There you can chose the right Input device, in your case you want the microphone of your webcam, and once it is selected try talking and you should see a "green line" showing as you speak confirming that the device is properly recording.
If the green line is short, you might want to boost the volume by moving the blue dot to the right. You can also uncheck the "adjust my volume automatically" since it can put your volume very low every time a loud noise is caught by the microphone.
If the camera microphone is not listed, installing your webcam software again should make it available after a reboot.
After That, try making a test call (Echo/Sound Test Service). If you can record your own voice and hear it played back to you, then the problem may lie with the person you are calling. If so, ask them to follow these instructions.
Make sure the volume for your microphone is turned on. Here's how:
Click the 'Start' menu in your taskbar, and highlight 'Settings.'
Select 'Control Panel.'
Locate 'Sounds and Audio Devices' in the Control Panel, and double-click the icon.
Open the 'Volume' tab, and click 'Advanced...' in the 'Device volume' section.
Look for 'Microphone' in the 'Volume Control' box that opens,
and make sure your microphone is enabled and the volume is high enough.
Close the 'Volume Control' box, and then click 'OK.'
If you're using an external microphone, and the volume is set properly,
check that the device is securely connected to your computer.
And if that doesn't solve the problem, make sure your microphone of
choice is selected in the 'Output - speakers or headset' drop-down menu
in the 'Audio' section of your Google Talk Settings.
Make sure your webcam mic is set as the default mic Plug in the webcam
Typical audio set up
Laptop with mic x webcam with mic x Vista x Yahoo Messenger 10 If you have an earlier OS, you may have to access your hardware from the Control Panel.

look on the lower right corner of your screen. there should be a volume icon down there. it looks like a speaker. click that and see if it is set up or down low. if it is low turn it up then it should work. this controls the amount of sound coming out of the sound card on your computer.
Look for the speaker down by the volume right click this and goes thu the settings and make sure your mic is not just muted. This is general a common issue.
