I have been trying to make voice calls on SKYPE, but my friend can't hear anything. I can hear him loud and clear. Any suggestions on how to fix my machine? I have an iMac OSX 10.5.8

I have determined my microphone is working OK..I see the indicator move when I speak, but it doesn't get sent out.

All I can suggest is that you try the Skype Test Call function that is built right into the program. It's the only way we are going to know if the problem is you, it, or the other party.

I followed your suggestion, and made the test call. But I got the
reply "Call ended – unable to reach this contact"

Puzzling and frustrating!!
