| Dolby hopes to improve audio quality with laptops |
Dolby hopes to improve the sound quality of video calls made through laptops so that Dolby Voice is available on both Lenovo laptops.
Acoustic technology makes it easy to hear audio during a conference call and combines elements like background noise reduction and dynamic tuning to make the meeting clearer, more natural and less stressful.
Including all Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 9 and ThinkPad X1 Yoga Gen 6 laptops, however, Dolby declined to specify what other laptops might appear in the future.
Dolby Voice is not entirely new as the company previously used similar basic technologies in the Dolby Conference Phone and Dolby Voice Room, both of which are a business-focused meeting solution.
The technology includes two different functions that can be used with speakers and microphones to facilitate calls.
By dynamically capturing and adjusting the entire room, the call volume can be adjusted so that people who are quieter or far from the microphone can hear the sound.
Dolby Voice also includes a noise canceling function to get rid of echo and background noise. The company said: With the voice separation feature, the technology makes it easy to hear voices when there are multiple voices, people talking on the same call.
The technology applies to both incoming and outgoing audio. Therefore, the person you are talking to or hearing should sound clearer and Dolby Voice function can be controlled through Dolby Access app.
Your hardware and software suite will determine which of these features can be used, and the company said regardless of which software you use, full room coverage, dynamic tuning, and noise cancellation features can be used on both sides. Lenovo laptop.
3.5mm external microphones connected to laptop computers can also benefit from noise cancellation and dynamic tuning.
However, the requirements for the audio separation function are slightly higher, and this function is only effective when the built-in microphone in the laptop is used with certain services including the zoom function.
As many people have stayed home for the past year, interest in using software to improve audio quality during a call is growing.
Some chat services (like Discord and Google Meet) include background noise reduction technology directly into their services, while Nvidia's Broadcast can work through various chat applications, provided you have the appropriate NVIDIA hardware.
