You can now turn on Nvidia's excellent noise cancellation with any GeForce GPU

Is it just me, or is a proper headset with a quality directional <i>boom</i> microphone a superior solution to majority of software noise cancelling?<p>I hate to sound like a luddite, but I&#x27;m on conference calls all day every day; zoom, webex, MS teams, skype, you name it; and the more laptop-microphones there are, the mushier and laggier everything and everybody sounds due to all the noise cancelling (and crappy microphones &#x2F; noise environments to start with). :-&#x2F;

The RTX limitation was always a sham, and editing some config files allowed the feature to work on any CUDA-capable GPU from the start.<p>Removing this arbitrary limitation is a good thing, but they should have done this earlier.

If you are on Linux it’s worth checking out PulseEffects [0]. Setting up gate, limiter, etc. is a great way to tune your audio and in a more robust way than some AI algorithm that only runs on some hardware.<p>[0]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;wwmm&#x2F;pulseeffects" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;wwmm&#x2F;pulseeffects</a>

Is there any planned support for Linux, I&#x27;m aware of Cadmus (and can&#x27;t get it to produce any noise) &amp; Noise-torch (only turns off the mic when there&#x27;s non-speech) but neither of these haven&#x27;t worked to effectively filter out background noises.

I wish there was something similar on Macs available for free. I have seen a few that do this but they all had subscription fees attached. I just need something to muffle my keyboard when I&#x27;m taking notes on calls, and muting&#x2F;unmuting gets very tedious.

I have a very noisy environment, but after reading up on the topic I realized I don&#x27;t need noise cancellation anymore. All I needed was a properly setup software-based equalizer that filters out noise regions like electricity and fans.<p>Noise cancellation, especially ML based ones, have weird artifacts which I assume result from false positives. Sure, you can filter out a hair dryer or a vacuum cleaner with those and still get a &quot;decent&quot; result. But if you have things like that constantly in your background probably you shouldn&#x27;t try to record any voice there in the first place ...

Ah, nice. Just in time for summer. Less AC noise on stream is good for everybody.
