Having the same issue on the MSI X370 Gaming Pro Carbon, audio is fine
but the microphone is having weird behavior that differs depending on
configuration.
When audacity is launched it will trigger the bug that increases the
recording speed to be insanely high pitched and fast. Prior to using
audacity i will hear a robotic noise while speaking that is also present
as a robotic echo.
Making use of the tsched=0 the robotic distortion is gone but replaced
with severe crackling that over time becomes less severe but still very
notable.

Very notable here is the buffer size which falls short of the required

without having to resort to a third party driver.
