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.

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?
