Pointlessness... IF your shit is compromised this shit would've no effect. Just a mock driver. Then remotely turn it on and off.

Yeah, no, doesn't work. At least not on all laptops.Additionally, really shatty headphones will double as microphones since the mechanics and equipment is the same.

Most software allows you to pick which available mic to use. This will solve nothing.

Ok. What about your phone/tablet/Bluetooth masturbator? Or any other electronic device around you? Just assume you are always being recorded by something. Never say anything that could be used against you. I honestly don't know and probably will never know the extent of tracking we are subjected to, so I figure its best to just play it safe.
Holy fuck... did I just become a paranoid conspiracy theorist?

Good tip, I saw a dude try this before but just shoved an unused pair of headphones into the socket. I had to burst his bubble and show audio was still being recorded the circuit for a speaker is the same really as a microphone so he had just plugged two mics into his laptop!
