It also depends on where the skype out call is going to. If international, sometimes its not very clear (other variables to factor in)....skype to skype is computer to computer

It is probably due to the audio codecs used. Skype-to-Skype calls use SILK, their proprietary audio codec, which I think is close to a wideband codec.
Bridging to PSTN world of traditional telco as in Skypeout, your getting u/aLaw (landline) or GSM (mobile) codec, neither of which is as good as SILK or a wideband codec.

I don't think there is anything you can do about it, if the person on the other end is using a landline or mobile, the conversation voice quality will be limited by the codecs on the their side.

Just try both a landline and gsm. In my experience, one is usually clearer than the other.
