Help Skype audio output.

I use Skype from my laptop to call home (A500). I'm talking to my family so cant get them to plug in external headphone and mic.

The sound quality I get from the A500 is terrible (sound is like its under water). I've read all the entries on this forum that say to use an external mic but as I cant can anyone suggest an external mic and speaker solution?
