Highly recommend Nvidia's Broadcast to filter out mic noise if you can run it.

Mumble has Xiph's RNNoise — which is Free and Open Source — built-in, thank you very much.

RNNoise was trained from proprietary data, so it isn't exactly an open AI model that could comply with the Debian Deep Learning Team's Machine Learning Policy.

So...?

So calling it "Open Source" seems incorrect.

Opus and Mumble are free software. Nvidia's processing stuff is not.

I mean it is free if you have the card anyway, but sure.

I didn't mean free as in "costs $0". The software comes with a restrictive, proprietary license, and no source code is provided.

I guess everyone has the choice to use the best one or the free one but rarely at the same time.

Except in the case of Opus, by the sounds of these comments here.

I'd like to run hardware-accelerated noise cancelling of RNNNoise-quality. For me, Mumble has a serious background CPU usage problem as soon as I turn that noise cancelling on, even if I'm client-side muted.

I can only offer an i915 (Broadwell) target for said offloading, though.
