"My laptop sound card/chip is not that great, so for now the Play! 4 is all I have" (Windows 11). Installing the official v2.x driver has been reported to introduce loud scratching/static noise; severe crosstalk can leak playback audio into the outgoing mic signal; ErP (EuP Lot 6)-compliant laptops may fail to reinitialize the DAC after reboot, requiring a manual re-plug.
