So when someone calls me/I call someone on Skype i can hear the calling sound but when we join the call the audio doesnt exist anymore (but the person can hear me speaking).

Heaphones- Razer Kraken USB
Os- Windows 8.1

First, make sure you and the person you're calling install the latest version of Skype, check that you have a good connection, and close any applications that might be interfering with your call - then follow these steps:
Make sure your microphone and speakers aren't blocked or muted, and are plugged in if you're using a computer.

Try moving closer to the microphone, reducing background noise, or cupping your hand in front of the loudspeaker if you're on a mobile device. If you're using a headset, try using a different cable or plugging it into a different port.
If you're using the integrated microphone and loudspeaker of a PC, laptop, or tablet, try using a USB headsets and webcams to use with Skype.
Make a test call.
Skype's free test call is the easiest way to test your sound - it prompts you to record a message, and then plays it back for you to hear. How to make a test call. If you can't hear the voice on the test call, continue to the next step.
Check your audio.
Try playing a song or using another application with sound. If you can hear it, the problem may be with the other person on the call - ask them to follow these steps too.
on Windows desktop: Select Tools > Options > Audio settings, then in the Speakers drop-down choose the playback device you want to use. If you're still having problems, Microsoft has a tool to automatically diagnose and fix audio problems.
