How about we take this back a bit.
A. Do you have two sound cards or one? For instance a physical card
or integrated device along with an interface of some sort or USB
headset that can act as a sound card?
B. Can you record anything in another program using your microphone?
GoldWave, SoundForge, etc?
C. When you do the echo test call and press Jaws or PC cursor, does
it come through the test call? If so does it sound up close or
distant? Can you hear your voice at all doing this?
D. In Skype, going to the Tools then options menu, and arrowing
down to Audio settings what devices show up in the first combo box?
I'm running an XP machine and haven't poked around on a Win 7 or
virtual machine yet. You can try typing in Volume Control there to
see if it finds it. They might just call it Volume? I can't recall off hand.

Do you have a separate sound card just for Jaws? What system are you using?
XP? It sounds to me like you could possibly have your settings in Volume
Control set to "What I hear" and then have your microphone muted. I'd look
in your Skype settings as was mentioned to you before, if you are running a
seperate sound card for Jaws, it might be defaulting to it in Skype. If you
are running just the one card, check your Volume Control. If using XP do
this:
1. Windows key and press P until you hear All Programs and right arrow once.
2. Press A until you hear accessories and right arrrow once
3. Arrow down until you see Entertainment and right arrow again once
4. Down arrow to Volume Control and press enter.
5. When Volume Control opens press the ALT key and wait for the menu to
open and then press up arrow once to Properties and press enter
6. In there you'll find what sound cards you have. If more than one, find
the one your system uses for its sounds, playing CDs etc. Then tab once
until you see the setting choices for play back and record. Arrow to the
recording option and press enter. Tab until you hear it say "What you
Hear", as you tab the next check box status you hear will be for it, if it
is checked you'll need to keep tabbing until you hear Microphone, then it'll
have some volume and balance percentages and maybe an advanced button and
again a check box. Make sure this is checked and see if that helps.
