Do you mean audio or sound and listening device or a line monitoring device?

Given that you live either in the PRC, or in a closely-controlled province of the PRC, and if your computer is more than a few years old, I would be frankly surprised were it not eavesdropping, one way or another. Either via on-board hardware, or more likely malware that is using your internet connection and looking at all traffic of any nature going through your device.

And, lest you think you are special in any way, the NSA (amongst others) has the same capacity here in the US. Whether they use it or not is anyone's guess.
