i connect an external speaker+mike with the USB port of the laptop and keep it switched off all day unless i need it. external sound unit, even when switched off, disables internal speaker and microphone.

Usually could consider the microphone (external Mic) socket. when a plug (blank one??) inserted, it is likely the internal mic is off or can be turned off. Machine turned off is useful, but worst case, can still monitor. Storage in a remote room may be useful etc. Extreme surveillance will get voices even though inside buildings. As said above somewhere, there is not a real privacy now days, in any meaningful way.
