If you use Linux, try kinect-audio-setup (packaged in Debian contrib, Arch user repo, my Gentoo overlay). It uses udev to load firmware and makes the mic available to the system as an audio device.

I have to install kinect-audio-setup as per piedar suggests. I'm on ubuntu 20.04 but I need to reboot the system to let system detects it. Thanks piedar!
