Mmm, maybe is that Cheese is not well suited to get the best of HD cams,
I mean, you may need more control over the video settings.

What's the output of "arecord -l"? I ask becasue it can be that you have
now two microphones (one coming from the sound card and other from the
webcam) and need to define what's the default or which to use.

Well, yup, I'd say Cheese is not aimed for video recording but online
chatting. You can try with video recording/capturing programs, for
instance VLC, GUVCviewer, ffmpeg, mplayer or mencoder although there are
more advanced/specialized tools for the matter but maybe they're too big
for your purposes.
