Windows 11 expands Surface AI noise reduction capabilities to benefit all PC users

Microsoft recently announced that it will soon promote its unique AI feature Voice Clarity (voice noise reduction) on all Windows 11 PCs, and this feature does not require NPU support.

According to our understanding, in the latest version of Windows 11 Build 26040, Microsoft has enhanced the Voice Clarity function of non-NPU devices. This update brings several feature improvements and fixes to users. Among them, the most eye-catching improvement is the widespread application of this voice noise reduction technology. Users can look forward to enjoying a clearer, higher-quality voice call experience when using Windows 11. This update further improves the functionality and performance of Windows 11, providing users with a better operating experience.

Voice Clarity is an advanced voice processing technology that effectively reduces background noise by integrating signals from multiple microphones and advanced echo control. This allows users to hear each other's voices more clearly during voice calls or meetings, thereby improving communication.

It is understood that Voice Clarity uses a low-complexity artificial intelligence model to eliminate echoes, suppress background noise and reduce reverberation in real time. Compared with other noise reduction technologies, this technology has low hardware requirements and does not rely on NPU, which means that most PC devices can easily adapt and enjoy the convenience of this feature.

The Voice Clarity feature will be enabled by default in Windows 11 systems. For applications that use communication signal processing mode, such as Phone Link and WhatsApp, users can directly experience this powerful voice noise reduction effect. Previously, this feature was limited to Surface devices, but now all Windows 11 PC users have the opportunity to experience the clear calling experience brought by Voice Clarity.
