This is not a JAWS issue, and should not have been posted to the list in the
first place. Please take it to private emails, or to one of several mailing
lists for blind users of skype and other such products.

Probably the mic gets muted.  You might want to check in your volume control
if that is the case.  Try a Skype test call.  Noticed a similar thing on my
XP machine, so I've created a hotkey to launch volume control so I can
unmute the mic.
