Hi,
Audio in this camera is handled by usb-audio driver not uvcvideo (video only).
In any case when grabbing audio from it make sure you set the sample
rate to 16 Khz (mono), a sound server like pulse should convert the
sample rate and channels automatically, but if you are not using it
then you must use the correct frequency.

Regards,
Paulo

in your test you are using 8 khz:
