Horrible input sound on any distro

I've been toying around with several distros in my endless effort to ditch windows and stick to linux but I haven't been able to work this out. I used to have a desktop where everything just worked but now I have a laptop (acer aspire e 15 e5-575g-52rj) and I'm having a very annoying issue when it comes to VoIP chatting which I regularly use. I'm experiencing this issues with Skype and Discord, everyone who's listening on the same channel or chat says that my mic sounds like it has some sort of crazy amplification but I've checked pavucontrol and alsamixer without finding anything useful. The only thing I saw was that discord uses something called WebRTC and Skype uses Chrome Sound. Dunno if that's relevant or anything.
I wanted to know if my mic was the issue so I unplugged it from my computer and tried to use the internal one on linux, it didn't work so I'm thinking it's a driver issue, but I don't really know what to do now. I tried Ubuntu, Fedora, Solus and now I'm on Manjaro and I'm having the exact same issue on every single one of them.
Also, I tried listening to my own mic on linux using this command:
pactl load-module module-loopback latency_msec=1
and it worked just fine, I mean I didn't hear any of the issues people talked about. I thought it could be discord's or skype's postprocessing software (don't know if that's its name but I didn't know what else to call it) but I would'nt really know how to troubleshoot that.
