How do I find out which application is accessing what device?

It's all software.  There is no hardware involved at all: they use a
virtual device.  It works even when the computer is off.  Doesn't matter
if your machine has a microphone or even any audio input capability.

I would truly like to know how they could manage that. Back in the day, you could make your floppy drive heave and grunt like it was in the throes of passion, but to make a non-audio device turn into a passive listening device?? While turned off?? Pull my other finger! <cackles> :) Ric
