Are you sure that a soundcard needs weird software to work? With just the drivers you should just have working sound output via the soundcard ports. I could be wrong as I haven't had a soundcard in a very long time.
Could be annoying, but you may be able to only install the drivers and avoid the bloatware. I do that with Nvidia, I only have the drivers, not Geforce experience or whatever.
I am certain tht it would work without odd software, but the LDA incident made me doubt all new hardware.
