I had something similar happen to me and my "C-Media USB Headphone Set"
sound card that I use because the SiS one in my laptop doesn't like
Linux.  The problem wasn't the mic settings -- they were high, but the
mic didn't appear to interfere much -- but instead it turned out to be
the "Auto Gain Control".  When it was turned on, 90% of the sound (but
not all, for some bizarre reason!) was crap.  When it was muted
everything was fine.  That too may help people with weird noise
problems.
