Noise Cancelling with Mic (Linux/Windows/Mac)

The software below should work. This is something you run with Java Runtime installed.

https://sourceforge.net/projects/noisegator/

Below this is a way to enable it with PulseAudio. Before doing the below. Make sure that the microphone is plugged in and activated in PulseAudio.

1. Open terminal and run the following command
$ sudo mousepad /etc/pulse/default.pa
2. Add the following to the end of the file, and save the file before closing it.

##Custom Noise Cancellation
load-module module-echo-cancel

3. Run the following command to restart PulseAudio
pulseaudio -k

You should now see the microphone listed twice. One should have something that says “echo cancelled”. This mic is with the noise cancellation turned on. The original one is without it.
