I use it without drivers and the system recognizes it correctly. And yes, without the driver my listening volume is 15-25% for cans and 7-12% for IEMs. I haven't tried installing the driver, but even if you ignore the insane volume gain it's miles ahead of onboard audio (even decent codecs like ALC1220 or 4080).
