Ok, that suggests that the problem is not with chrome specifically. But
in your first mail you said that firefox works fine...

If you record with parecord without having chrome running at the same
time, is the sound still bad? If it is, you can check if the audio is
better without pulseaudio in the middle with this command:

pasuspender -- arecord --device=plughw:0 --format=cd test.wav

If that produces bad audio too, then it's a kernel driver problem.
