Never ceasing background noise is annoying, even if the game sound covers a bit. A recently-launched plugin, RTX Voice from NVIDIA, will come as a lifesaver! Some of you may have already heard of its magic, but you will just keep being surprised by its effect. In this guide, we'll be talking about using RTX Voice to remove background noise, whether you're streaming or recording with the FIFINE microphone.
Quick Shoot about RTX Voice
When you click open the plugin for the first time, a wonder will definitely rise in your head: does such a bare-bones control panel, which has only options for input and output devices, work?
Yes, it does and does rather well. You don’t have to do anything super complex, just choose the correct I/O and drag the noise cancellation bar left and right to control the amount of suppression you want.
The plugin will take effect right away: thinking about children who are loudly playing in the background, but none can hear them.
Seemingly the only drawback is that when it’s all the way up, sound quality is suck. But still, it doesn’t matter that much, because if you’re in an environment with such constant loud noise, you will go berserk before your viewers do.
FIFINE Microphone Setup
If you are using any one of the FIFINE USB microphones, setting the computer input level at 80% and keeping the speaking range at around 5 inches will yield the best raw audio before RTX Voice takes effect. For those models with a volume dial, set the gain input below 60% in the first place. Having the right input level in the first place is rather crucial.

Video Guide
The actual limitation of this mighty plugin is that you need the RTX graphics card in the first place. But nothing can stop you if you really look into it. And here is the way around the restriction. We are not 100% sure it will work in your case, but we are 100% sure that it is worth a try. If you prefer a video demo instead, watch the detailed explanation and tutorial from @Barnacules Nerdgasm, the exact part starts from 10:38.
Here's a brief step-by-step guide:
Hold down CTRL+SHIFT+ESC to open up Task Manager.
Go to file-run new task, and a little box will pop up.
A must-do step to tick the checkbox “Create this task with administrative privileges”. And type in Notepad in the search bar and click Open.
Continue to open up a file in Notepad, which should be under This PC - Windows 10 - temp - NVRTXVoice - NvAFX. And come down to the bottom of the window to change the format of the file you want to open up to “All Files”. Then, click open the RTXVoice NVI file.
Find the section that starts with <constraints>, highlight the entire part including the <constraints>, and delete it. Then go to the file again and hit save.
Now, you rerun the installed RTXVoice program, and you’re going to find that you have passed the system check.
With RTX Voice, eliminating background noise will be an incredibly effective way, whether you're streaming, recording, or podcasting with your FIFINE microphone. With this guideline, you can enjoy clean, distraction-free audio that keeps the focus exactly where it should be—on your voice.
