Help Skype Call on EVO just can't work...

Hi,

I've had the Evo for about a week...but Skype is a big problem for me. Just regular Skype call, no video call...the other person can barely hear me, I can barely hear them, it's unworkable. My previous phone Skype worked 100X better. I don't know if anyone has any tips or tricks about how to improve this?

Thanks very much.

Thanks - my strength is 4G

My prl? Not sure what that is. I'm a bit of a noob...

Oh and I've tried Google Talk - same thing. I can actually hear the person better than they can hear me...something wrong with the internal mic?

it should be under settings>software update (i believe) then check to update prl and then do one for profile.

i could be wrong but i'm not sure that you can skype with 4g. never really use skype and it has been a while that i had the og evo.
