nvidia broadcast alternative for mac
There is no NVIDIA Broadcast for Mac.
NVIDIA Broadcast runs only on Windows, and only with an NVIDIA RTX graphics card, which no Mac has. If what you want from it is a quiet microphone, a Mac has other ways to get there, starting with free ones.
Free options on a Mac first
macOS has Voice Isolation built in, in apps that support Mic Modes (how to use Voice Isolation on Mac). Zoom and Teams each have their own noise suppression, and OBS has a Noise Suppression filter. Each works only inside the app that offers it, which is the main thing NVIDIA Broadcast’s virtual microphone avoids.
Aurio: the virtual microphone part, for a Mac
Aurio works the way NVIDIA Broadcast’s microphone does. It installs a microphone of its own, “Aurio Microphone”, that removes background noise on your Mac in real time, so every app that lets you pick a mic gets the clean sound: Zoom, Meet, Teams, Discord, OBS. It runs on the Mac’s own chip and needs no separate graphics card. It is $40 and yours to keep, with a year of updates that renews yearly, or $70 with lifetime updates, after a 14-day free trial.

What Aurio doesn’t replace
NVIDIA Broadcast does more than clean your mic. Aurio has no camera effects, doesn’t remove room echo, and doesn’t clean what the other people on the call send you. If you came here for the virtual background or auto frame, your call app’s own camera settings are the place to look.
