You can check which format / quality is used to record in gnome
sound recorder.  Try to record as Ogg, for example.

Also, you can try to reproduce the problem via aplay.
Record like
	% arecord -Dplughw -fdat -c1 foo.wav

	% arecord -Dplughw -fdat foo.wav
Are both correctly recorded?

(On a system with pulseaudio, run with pasuspender such as

	% pasuspender -- arecord ...
