Like many laptops, my laptop has a built-in microphone and camera for webcam operation. I put a piece of clear tape over my built-in microphone. That reduces the sensitively enough that it doesn't interfere with normal recording operation unless you tap on the mic. It also picks up keystrokes if you are a heavy hitter of keys on the keyboard.

I'd say taping over the webcam mic is worth a try if you want to use the tuner. The worse that can happen is it doesn't work for you.
