Microsoft tests Windows 11 with a built-in fix for bad meeting audio

Jan 27, 2024 - theverge.com
Microsoft has released a new Canary test build for Windows that extends the Voice Clarity feature to all Windows machines, including those with ARM CPUs. Previously, this feature was only available on Surface devices. The Voice Clarity feature uses low complexity AI models to filter out background noise, echo, and reverberation in real-time, making it potentially useful for improving the audio quality in Zoom or Teams meetings.

In addition to the Voice Clarity feature, the new build also allows immediate access to photos and screenshots from connected Android devices. It introduces a new Windows setup procedure that Microsoft claims has a cleaner and more modern design. The update also includes the 80Gbps update to USB4.
