If your Skype is using the default sound schemes but you find it hard to hear, you can change the default sounds used in the program and use your own sound file if you have. To customize the default sounds used by Skype, in Skype, go to Tools, Options, and then Sounds.

In “Select which event plays a sound”, check the box next to the events or next to an event that you want to play a sound. To preview the sound for the selected event, click on the green play icon. That’s how you select an event and play its sound. To add your own sound file, click Import Sounds and then navigate to the location of your sound file.

But remember when adding your own sound files, if you want to add a WAV file, make sure it is a mono WAV file. Skype doesn’t support stereo WAV files.
