Why did he also have his audio jack taped over?

Maybe so the sound wouldn't go in... ;)

Could just be a joke. People like having subtle fun. If I were someone whose moves were so scrutinized, I'd have some fun with silly things too.

It's the microphone, not the audio jack.

It's definitely the audio jack, but you can use it for a mic, I just don't understand how it can record you without a mic plugged in. Thus my honest question.
