Nvidia Broadcast for Linux

[edisionnano]

Nvidia broadcast also known as RTX voice can remove audio and video background noise on NVIDIA GPUs. This is only available for Windows but the Video and Audio AI SDKs it uses are available for Linux too but not yet public. Linux gamers would really benefit from at least RTX voice since krisp isn't available for Linux (unless Android and the discontinued Chrome plugin count) and Noisetorch was recently compromised. Nvidia, you can give us this. Even if it doesn't have a GUI it will be still fine, the community can make one.

This would really be awesome. One of the last things that Windows has over Linux.

[mattmattox]

Do we know if this is on the road map?

[rodrigoGA]

It is incredible how NVIDIA despises Linux users. Nvidia strives to restrict the use of its technologies in linux and to provide poor quality products, even from the drivers.
I think that linux users should take this into account before choosing nvidia, because after all we can't use it, and alternatives provide solutions that may not be at the same technological level, but work on linux.
It's a pity that such an innovative company forces users to choose other alternatives due to commercial decisions.

I wish I could upvote twice.

[a-y-u-s-h]

I know you copied this from a comment on Reddit but okay, I will upvote this anyway.

[erzwo31]

That's the reason, my next gpu will be team red.

Seems it's currently in development https://developer.nvidia.com/broadcast-engine/video-effects-sdk-linux

[AlexvZyl]

Exciting.

[edisionnano]

That has been a thing for quite a while. It's just the sdk for devs...

[johnycage]

It's currently "invite only program"

[RiemaruKarurosu]

I applied months ago, still pending to review my request to access.

[thefonso]

2023...no forward motion...I guess we know where this is going

[kulievvitaly]

That is good product. I want to use it with ubuntu.

[writetoanikets]

I tried Cadmus but I don't like it

[JanisPlayer]

You can try this, I was surprised, it even filters a vacuum cleaner. Perfect for my jet engine hot air gun notebook.

Krisp should be available for Discord on Linux now, and you can use EasyEffects to filter out background noise in other apps.

[RiemaruKarurosu]

what about removing camera background?

[j2l]

I upvoted here, and while continuing the quest, stumbled on this: https://catalog.ngc.nvidia.com/orgs/nvidia/teams/maxine/resources/maxine_linux_video_effects_sdk_ga
It's only for video effects.
Looks like it's 3 months old (April 2023) but the requirement (in the README file) states it's for ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04, so "only" 3-5 years late 😄

I switched to pop 22.04 so I can't test (another Ubuntu EEE strategy based on uname -r (Embrace, Extend, Extinguish other Ubuntus, far from Madiba's legacy)), but if anyone here has a "official" 20.04 and can confirm it works, that could be beginning of some coolness.

[knileshh]

Does, pop have this functionality?

[j2l]

Why shouldn't it have it? It's only ubuntu + Nvidia proprietary drivers

[RiemaruKarurosu]

Could someone even could download it?, it gives me back 451 Unavailable For Legal Reasons

[gelodefaultbrain]

Any news guys? is it available now?

[antonsem]

I'm thinking about permanently switching to Linux. This is the only app I'm actively using which doesn't have a proper alternative. I would love to see it ported...

[Inmoresentum]

Please give us access to the SDK.... We can then take it from there.

[RiemaruKarurosu]

I don't know why they don't want to give us access.

[gelodefaultbrain]

Any news guys? is it available now?

Replying to my comment here. It's now almost 2024, is there any news? I really wanted to have it on my Ubuntu machine tho so that it can reduce the background noise of my dog barking.

[orowith2os]

Saying it again, instead of spamming this thread with questions and questions that very clearly will never result in any answers, just use EasyEffects, and it appears recent versions of Discord support Krisp as well.

[RiemaruKarurosu]

EsayEffects does not include nvidia video AI modifications (and there is not any good alternative)

[myagizmaktav]

Any Update?

[JayPokale]

Windows users to Linux users: I feel sad for you

Linux users to Windows users: I don't think about you at all

[chriskalos]

I want to switch to Linux full time after the horrible business practices of Microsoft, but I just cannot let go of Nvidia Broadcast. Nvidia NEEDS to prioritize this.

[gelodefaultbrain]

Guys? Any updates? Had my last comment here. It's almost 2025 again.

[Wolfhound905]

+1

Just to set expectations on this thread: This is the kernel modules repo, that is monitored by developers working on the kernel modules. The feature in question has nothing to do with the kernel modules, and none of us here can give you any info that you are asking for.

I'm not sure where would be a good place to reach the people who could have some insight into this, but it definitely isn't here. Best bet is the general linux forum: https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/c/gpu-graphics/linux/148

Feel free to keep this thread going (as long as its civil) if you want to discuss stuff, but do not expect any sort of official answer here whatsoever.

[darkhog]

Yeah but it would be nice if you could send this to the appropriate department.

[darkhog]

My main use for Broadcast is removing background from webcam (can't afford a green screen). Is there any alternative on Linux for THAT?

[roworu]

There is a dedicated page on the Nvidia forums about the Broadcast app on Linux. If you are interested, you can go and upvote it: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/forums/broadcasting/18/483398/nvidia-broadcast-app-for-linux/
I am not sure if bumping a GitHub issue in the GPU kernel modules repository would speed up the process.

[zerofill]

Amazing that 90% of the AI use of Nvidia cards is on Linux, but they don't care to make their apps work on Linux.
