Older skype has been really sketchy after the MS acquisition and after they started modifying the network. I don't see how mixer settings could affect sound quality other than too much gain -> distortion. Ever heard of other alternatives like Tox or Ring? Both better technologies imho than the ones mentioned. In freebsd you can at least pkg install utox. Not sure if Ring (ring.cx) is available.
