It seems something got broken on PulseAudio or Firefox / Chrome. I am 
working on recent 12.2-RELEASE AMD64. Microphone works in other 
applications (i.e. Audacity).

Quick fix is to use OSS backend in OSS over about:config in Firefox:
media.cubeb.backend                             oss
media.cubeb.input_voice_routing                 true
media.cubeb.output_voice_routing                true

This way we can at least use this crap for work. Until PulseAudio 
backend is fixed. Several days lost again. F*** Y** Mozilla :-(
