Microsoft Teams can now suppress background noise using machine learning
(Windows Phone Central)

Microsoft used over 1 million audio samples to improve noise suppression in Teams. What you need to know Microsoft is rolling out two new audio features for Teams. Machine-learning-based noise suppression is now generally available. Automatic music detection is expected to roll out in the coming months. Microsoft has a couple of new audio features in the works for Teams. Machine-learning-based noise suppression can automatically detect background noise that needs to be suppressed, allowing the communication app to make speech audio clearer within meetings. An automatic music detection feature is also on the way to Teams, though people will have to wait a few months to try it out. High-fidelity music mode transmits audio signals with a 32kHz sampling rate (16kHz bandwidth) at 128kbps. The mode reduces bitrate by four times compared to lossless encoding. Microsoft built the new feature with music lessons and performances in mind. The company explains that High-fidelity music mo...
