i'm having this issue on 18.10 as well, 4.18.0-13-generic with a Logitech C310 (046d:081b). it's been an issue since 18.04 and older for me; i can't remember when it worked without issue, but it did at some point.
it appears this commit [0] is the cause as after restoring the specific USB_QUIRK_RESET_RESUME line for my model and recompiling the kernel i cannot reproduce the squeaky-voice issue. with the standard kernel i can reliably reproduce it with Audacity by recording, stopping the recording, then starting another recording - after ~3 "correct" recordings the pitch changes. with the recompiled kernel it appears the device is being "reset" for each recording: usb 2-1.6: reset high-speed USB device number 4 using ehci-pci i do not see this when using the standard 4.18.0-13-generic kernel, so i'm guessing this is what the quirk does and usb_interface_quirk_list in quirks.c isn't catching my webcam. i believe there should be a match based on the code; lsusb output includes the following Interface which looks like it matches the call (USB_VENDOR_AND_INTERFACE_INFO(0x046d, USB_CLASS_VIDEO, 1, 0)) since USB_CLASS_VIDEO is 0x0e which matches the bInterfaceClass, and subclass/protocol also match. note that this is not the first interface in the lsusb output, not sure if that matters.

In Natty, this mic worked great. Now, in the sound control panel, the mic does not show any input level at all and sound recorder does not record any sound. edit: I can also confirm the same behavior as Alex Popovskiy. It either works but plays too fast (high pitch) or it doesn't work at all.
