Just tried a 2nd test method: "pasuspender audacity" Now I get
"proper"
input/output listing in audacity. The recording quality is worse or no
better.

BTW, I just connected a mic to a small mixer and connected that to a
Behringer UCA202 USB interface ... and that works just fine.

In what way is the audio quality of the recorded audio signal less good
than expected?

IIUC monitoring through the app is always ok, but playback of a
recording, and/or recording with a Behringer UCA202 works, but fails
when using a Presonus Audiobox?

Yup :) The UCA202 works just fine. But recording though the Presonus is
awful. There is one difference, and I'll have to try it in morning ...
using the UCA202 I have a mic connected to a mixer and the mixer is to the
UCA202. Using the Presonus I have the mic directly into it. I'll see if
putting a mixer in the chain changes things.
And, yes, I've tried different USB ports. And, yes, about a year ago it all
worked just fine :)
As to hardware, etc:
Linux version 4.18.0-12-generic (buildd@lgw01-amd64-033) (gcc version 8.2.0

Best,

No, it will not change anything related to the issue, it only could
make a difference, if you would hear issues already when monitoring the
audio signal.
Linux version 4.18.0-12-generic
The issue could be related to the load and real-time priorities when
recording audio. You could install
https://packages.ubuntu.com/cosmic-updates/linux-lowlatency
https://packages.ubuntu.com/cosmic/rtirq-init
after installing rtirq-init in /etc/default/rtirq edit RTIRQ_NAME_LIST
to
RTIRQ_NAME_LIST="usb"
then restart the computer to test if this makes a difference.

Not when just using PulseAudio or ALSA. There is enough buffering
happening that no frame should be dropped due to process preemption.
real-time stuff matters when using Jack configured for low-enough latency.

At the risk of stating the obvious, could the mic preamp in the Presonus have
developed a fault?

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

Sounds like a sample rate or sample format mismatch to me. Try switching
between 44100z and 48000Hz (in the application or in Pulseaudio
configuration).
