I am confused, do you mean that in the general case? That I should do that experiment right now and because wireshark won't show anything on my systems, that means whatever is going on with his systems is made up?

Yes. Whether your mic is picking up background noise, your own voice, or a legitimate modulated covert channel, wireshark is incapable of even attempting to pretend it's a network interface. At no point could this ever show up in wireshark.
OK, thanks for confirming that this discussion is completely over your head. I won't be responding any further.

I strongly suggest you try using a packet sniffer before you stubbornly engage in arguments about what they can and can't see.
I will send you $100 if you can configure wireshark to do what you describe. Using any of the tools in this thread, or any of your own, go ahead and try capturing even 1 packet from an audio interface in wireshark and post the pcap file.
It's not over anyone's head - we have interns who understand why this doesn't work. I have no idea why you might think it would.
