[ Upstream commit 4a63e68a295187ae3c1cb3fa0c583c96a959714f ]
I own an external usb Webcam, model NexiGo N930AF, which had low mic volume and inconsistent sound quality. Video works as expected.

Set up quirk cval->res to 16 for 256 levels, Set GET_SAMPLE_RATE quirk flag to stop trying to get the sample rate. Confirmed that happened anyway later due to the backoff mechanism, after 3 failures
All audio stream on device interfaces share the same values, apart from wMaxPacketSize and tSamFreq :

Based on the usb data about manufacturer, SPCA2281B3 is the most likely controller IC Manufacturer does not provide link for datasheet nor detailed specs. No way to confirm if the firmware supports any other way of getting the sample rate.
Testing patch provides consistent good sound recording quality and volume range.
