With 4.2 and pulse audio I installed pavucontrol, then from in skype I
unchecked the box which allows skype to adjust the volume, then clicked
the volume control button which opened pavucontrol. Then I increased the
microphone volume to 153% (??). This improved the sound although it was
still rather quiet. I expect this procedure would work with 4.3 but I
can't be bothered to try it as the sound on 4.2 is far better.
