This snap also includes OpenVINO™ AI plugins for music separation, noise suppression, music generation and continuation, transcription, and super resolution. These plugins can only be run on Intel hardware (CPU, GPU, and NPU) and a user must be in the render Unix group in order to run on Intel accelerators (GPU and NPU). To ease the installation of the AI models, the snap also includes a model management command that can be run using:
sudo audacity.fetch-models
For Intel NPU support, make sure to also run the following prior to running Audacity:
sudo snap install intel-npu-driver sudo snap connect audacity:npu-libs intel-npu-driver:npu-libs
