AMD Just Leaked Its Nvidia RTX Voice Competitor in a (Now Deleted) Video

AMD looks to be on the cusp of releasing a competitor to RTX Voice, a feature for Nvidia graphics cards that cancels out background noise when you're on a call or otherwise using your mic. From a report: That's according to a trailer that AMD posted to its YouTube channel (apparently in error), Tom's Hardware reports. Thankfully, a copy of the trailer was downloaded before it was deleted by Reddit user u/zenobian and uploaded to the AMD subreddit. The leaked trailer suggests that AMD's Noise Suppression feature will work very similarly to Nvidia's RTX Voice (which has subsequently been rolled into Nvidia's Broadcast app). It uses "a real-time deep learning algorithm" to offer "two-way noise-reduction" that filters background noise out of both outgoing and incoming microphone audio, and is apparently built into AMD's existing Adrenalin software.

Not just Nvidia

Nvidia aren't the only people with amazing speech denoising technology, here's a demo from Xiph.org's Jean-Marc Valin [www.amazon.science]

The demo bothers me severely. I don't know why, but I find it highly disturbing to listen to, 100% completely distracting me from the content while basically causing some form of mental pain. The original signal + noise doesn't bother me.

RTX Voice is a thing?

[NawShucksNo]

I had no idea this existed. Is there a reason it's not part of the Geforce Experience app used to keep drivers updated? Also (https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/guides/nvidia-rtx-voice-setup-guide/#Supported-Apps) it *may* have issues with WebEx, Skype, Zoom, Slack, Teams, and Steam Chat? Those seem like some important brands to support.

There is a big difference between the Geforce Experience and the NVIDIA Control Panel. The funny thing is that the NVIDIA Control Panel has a user interface that looks like it was designed in the 1990s and never got updated. The AMD software is far more advanced in terms of the interface, and has a LOT of features built in. Even the new Intel driver suite for Arc looks a lot more modern than the NVIDIA Control Panel.

What do you want the nvidia control panel to do that it doesn't?

I admit it doesn't do strictly everything I want it do, but then I don't know if AMD's would either. I use nvidiaprofileinspector to do the few things I can't do through the control panel.

I've used it with Teams, Webex, and Zoom with no issues. Just have to pic it as the mic, and tell the NV software what your actual mic is. My issue with it is that it's less stable than the beta they released in 2020, and unfortunately the beta doesn't work well with RTX cards anymore (just GTX cards) since they released Nvidia Broadcast where the noise removal now lives. I suspect it's a driver change as to why the beta no longer works. Beta was flawless for me but all of the release versions tend to cra

Not impressed

I tried Nvidia's noise suppression filter, didn't like it (too big a hit to voice quality) and went back to the nlmeans filter. Hopefully AMD does a better job.
