Microphones usually don't need drivers. It should just be plug and play. Try messing with your audio settings.

Being a Logitech and a USB one, then yes, you will need drivers (i think).

Also, check that it isn't muted under the sound settings.

a) is it muted
b) is the recording source set to the right port

and no it dont need drivers in 2k or above. It shows up as "usb composite device". Windows has drivers built in.
