Poor, low quality audio during video recordings

When recording videos, audio volume is low, and the quality seems way off, almost like there's a slight robotic effect, or as though the audio track's bitrate is lower than it should be.

To add to the oddness, there will often be a tenth-of-a-second (give or take) at the beginning OR end of the video that's at normal volume and quality...

As far as I can tell, nothing's covering any of the mics. I'm currently running the latest Nougat beta, but the same thing happened on 6.0.1. Maybe a clean install is necessary? I don't even have a lot installed.

Here's a [bad] video sample, originally recorded with Skype as a video message but later saved:

You can hear the bad audio at the beginning. It also lacks additional bass. Quality gets a little better through the rest, but you can hear the brief portion at the end where volume is where it should be.
