HPZ420 E5-1650 V2 and Enabling AVX?

[Rhothgar]

Wonder if anyone has experience of this. I've searched but couldn't find any relevant information on here.

According to HWInfo (and the internet), the E5-1650 V2 supports AVX.

I am running Cyberlink Audio Director 365 and it says ensure latest Windows updates are installed and check machine supports AVX function sets.

I am on Build 19045.3208 which is 22H2 from memory.

I've had a cursory glance through the BIOS but am unsure what to change to enable this.

I've watched one video on Youtube and it says execute BCDEdit /set xsavedisable 0 using admin CMD prompt.

Not sure I want to do that without checking here first.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT:

I am not sure if I have answered my own question BUT just found something which states Audio Director 12 (in 2021) required AVX2 which obviously the CPU will not support.

Is there a workaround please?

Or does anyone know of a free piece of audio editing software, or trial, that will work with plain old AVX.

Basically, I am trying to do noise reduction on an audio file.  There is music in the background.  It would be nice to remove that but I know not how.

Maybe there is a better audio programme I could use to achieve a swifter cleanup of the file.  iPhone does it really easily but is a REAL faff when it comes to tasks like trimming which should be simple!

as you noted there is AVX and AVX2, 

AVX is the older one and is found in many older intel cpu's from 2011 onwards

AVX2 is the newer version and is only found in most cpu's from 2013 onwards

further, AVX/AVX2 are available in both 256 and 512 bit versions and not every cpu supported the 512 bit version

the AVX-512 instruction set made its way to the consumer-based systems with the Cannon Lake architecture and was later supported by the Ice Lake and Tiger Lake cpu's and some xenon cpu's also

there are no workarounds to add a missing AVX, either the cpu supports it or it doesn't

there are numerous Audio editing packages that will not use AVx2/AVX-512

A good tool to use is Kapwing,  They have an automatic background noise removal tool that detects and removes background noise from audio and video.
