It's extremely difficult to remove the microphone from any of those things.

Oh, to be clear I mostly meant removing the mic on a laptop. And it's pretty easy to open a laptop, just takes some screwdrivers. Or you can take a pin and stab the microphone until it no longer functions. No extreme difficulty here.

It's possible to have a software based microphone coded into whatever operating system. Speakers can also be used as a microphone. There is software out there that can record sound without any actual microphone.

I would really like more details about this software.

Not any speaker, but you can use some headphones as microphones very easily.

Oh, OK - I knew about that trick. I thought you were referring to the internal speakers on a laptop being usable as a covert audio recorder.

How many actually have sound cards sophisticated enough to feed the speakers into the ADC?
