Hi,
I am experiencing bad audio quality from my microphone on Manjaro, it was okay on Windows 10.
Current setup is Bluetooth Huawei AM61 headphones for audio (output) and a generic 3.5mm jack microphone (input).
It could be that the default microphone used is from the Headphones, and not the Front one, with the jack. I prefer to use the Front microphone.
