About

HUSH runs NVIDIA's Maxine Audio Effects denoiser on your GPU in real time and exposes the cleaned signal as a virtual PipeWire microphone you can select in any app. A parametric band section removes mains hum and other tonal noise. The NVIDIA Maxine runtime and per-GPU models are downloaded on first launch (they are not bundled). An NVIDIA GPU (Turing / RTX 20-series or newer) is required. Not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by NVIDIA.
