Microsoft’s Surface Laptop Studio recently gained support for Voice Clarity, which helps improve audio quality when speaking through Windows 11. While some apps have similar features, Voice Clarity is built into Windows 11 and can work with any program. The only catch is that, at the moment, it’s limited to specific hardware. Support for Voice Clarity arrives with the most recent firmware update for the device.
Microsoft announced several features focused on virtual communication at its Windows 11 event earlier this month. Many of those features require a Neural Processing Unit (NPU). The Surface Laptop Studio does not have an (NPU), so it’s safe to assume that Voice Clarity does not require one.
Other features announced at the event, such as native support for eye correction, background blur, automatic framing, and noise suppression, need an NPU and will be limited to specific devices, including the Lenovo ThinkPad X13s. Voice Clarity will also roll out to more devices in the future.
Voice Clarity helps deliver clearer audio when speaking through Windows 11. It reduces background noise and can also boost your voice when you’re moving around a room. The feature requires Studio Mics, such as those found in the Surface Laptop Studio, and Windows 11.
The latest firmware update for the Surface Laptop Studio also improves Touchpad response and reliability and improves the device’s performance and stability.
You can grab the latest update for the Surface Laptop Studio by searching for it through the Windows 11 Settings app or manually updating your device.
