It works with processors supporting the Advanced Vector Extensions 2 (AVX2) instructions, which are mostly found in processors released after 2016.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Low:<\/strong> This setting will cancel persistent sounds, like the ones coming from fans, the AC, or computer fans. You can play music in meetings and calls.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Off:<\/strong> As the name suggests, it switches off the Noise Suppression option, and your computer\u2019s mic will transmit all noises around you.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you\u2019re using a premium-grade microphone, you should turn off the Noise Suppression or set it to Low.<\/p>\n<p>Picking one of these settings from your profile will apply it to all your devices by default.
