Try using alsamixer.

Might be possible to correct this by just turning the volume up.

Maybe it's overdriving? Try lowering the input of the mic.

Could be GSM radio interference. 

Changing mixer settings can help for some things. It's worth a try.
If you found good settings, you have to put them in the corresponding
file in /usr/share/openmoko/scenarios/
When you for example start a call the file gsmhandset.state is used to
set the mixer. So changes in alsamixer get reset when the scenario
changes.
