I don't know what is going on. It kind of makes me want to crack open my PC's and take a soldering gun to the leads to the internal microphone.

Do you work for someone else or are you self employed?

I know companies that monitor employees through such means, remote employees in particular.

Video recording and microphones are nearly everywhere. Regrettably big brother doesn’t begin to describe what surrounds us. Get used to it because there is no place to hide

Wow. When you heard that first conversation, I’ll bet you got chills - in a bad way. That is scary, though. I’ll keep checking this thread to see if anyone solves your puzzle.

Better half and I sometimes do whoops, hollers and sexual suggestions so as to make ‘em think we have a thriving sex life. All in fun

The filenames are clearly timestamps. i.e.
170901_1554.mp3 would be

Were you able to confirm that the laptop was on and present during the recorded conversations?

If you can confirm that some of the conversations occurred when the laptop was not on or present, then it would suggest that there is some kind of bug present that was secretly uploading to the laptop, for later retrieval.

Unfortunately, this would probably be government agency surveillance, rather than random malware. Just look at what happened to poor Mr. Kraft.

I don’t think there is any way to track this any further, however.

It might be worth scanning the drives of your desktop PC from a trusted linux boot CD, and see if there are other suspicious files there.

Anyone who tapes my computer sounds will have hours and hours of off-key humming, interspersed by cursing out Bill Gates.

Too easily hackable, even “inadvertently”.

Pingging to Dayglored. If anybody would have a good take on this it is Dayglored.

My son warned me to turn my computer OFF when not in use, because it’s never really off in sleep mode.

Also, what is the extension name for these files, please?

Notice he said laptop and not MacBook, so it must be a Windoze machine.

It’s why I won’t own such a piece of trash. Apple all the way!

It is obvious that your wife and dog are cyborgs and work for the Russians
