Sounds like an alignment problem (NOT the audio-control head) or maybe
skewing tape.

You may need to clean the tape path, or it could be a bad tape. Make a new
recording on a new tape & see what happens.

You should repeat your test with a "brand new" video tape.
Old tapes can introduce uncertainty with your VCR diagnosis.
