how are you using your Ryzen AI NPU?
I haven’t found a real application for the NPU yet and wanted to ask if anyone is using it seriously.
If I’m not mistaken, the NPU should actually enable Microsoft Studio Effects. However, I don’t see any settings options for it in the settings, or even the tile in the taskbar… Has anyone managed to get it working?
Maybe it’s because I’m using Windows 11 LTSC 24h2 and it’s simply not implemented there…
Thanks Kieran!
I extracted the RyzenAI 300 drivers:
08_Camera_10.0.22000.20357 → This is the camera driver you mentioned
09_Realtek_MEP_Opt-in_10.0.22000.10003 → Can’t be installed
10_AMD_MEP_ext_32.2.0.0 → Can be installed
11_MEP_2.0.11 → Can be installed
I also tested various drivers for the HP Elitebook 845 14 G10, Acer Swift Edge 16 and Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen4, as these are based on the 7840u and have microsoft studio effects.
Well, somehow it worked and somehow it didn’t.
When I open the camera app, the tile with the studio effects appears in the taskbar, but when I try to click on it, the quick options menu opens instead…
Nevertheless, nothing has changed in the settings. No Studio Effects appear in the camera tab, and nothing has changed in the ai components tab either…
