I just plugged mine in. If you have Win XP, Win 7 or Win 8, you shouldn't need drivers. Windows OS comes with a Plug & Play software already.

Logitech's FAQ implies that it does. Additionally their software is available for Windows 8, so I'm going to conclude that it will work with Windows 8

I haven't personally tried it with Windows 8 but it shouldn't make any difference as your stereo mini plug jack will power any speakers (well small ones anyway) that you plug into it. If you have a headset or earbuds and they work then the Kinivo will work. Windows 8 doesn't address plug in speakers any different than Windows 7.

Have not seen a Windows 8 Driver for this yet but it works "plug 'n play" for Windows 7 without using the driver disk. If you have already made your purchase & tried unsucessfully to install it, try this: Physically remove the device and then open up device manager & "uninstall" it. Reboot your computer and then plug the adapter back in. When the "hardware found" driver install dialogue pops up, be sure to allow it to "search online" To see if it will find a driver. I can't say if this will work with any certainty because I don't have Windows 8 and haven't tried it.

It is not plug n play, the driver has to be installed (cd included). It does work with windows 7.

Yes; it is a plug & play device. I have installed several software with it. The software you buy must be compatible with Windows 8 but the Transcent works fine.

Yes, it has independent phantom power for each input. It will work with Windows 8.1, but you will need to download the latest drivers. Thanks Aaron.

Yes...It should be although I haven't tested it on Win 8...When you use it as a network device it works on all recent windows release since you will be configuring it differently...
