Realtek's "enhancements" are a legitimate source of audio problems with Java's javax.sound.sampled. The auto noise suppression, equalizer, and "audio enhancements" Realtek enables by default can interfere with raw PCM capture because they process the audio stream at the driver level before Java ever sees it. That could and often does manifest as degraded STT quality or audio cutting out.

Elite Intel is your AI-powered, sidekick for Elite Dangerous. It's a Quality of Life (QoL) app that enhances gameplay with voice-activated commands uttered in natural language,

real-time journal parsing, and smart AI assistance-all while staying fully compliant with Frontier Developments' Terms of Service. No AFK play, and no unfair advantages; everything requires your input.

The app uses Speech-to-Text (STT) and Text-to-Speech (TTS) for natural voice interactions, and LLM for handling commands, queries, and chats. It processes game data from journal and auxiliary files, pulls in info from EDSM when needed, and keeps things responsive.

Fork it and submit pull requests! Keep things modular and event-driven, and test your changes. For dev details, check out DEVELOPERS.md in the root. It covers the architecture (decoupled, multithreaded, event registry via reflection) and principles like DRY and SRP. All PRs go through review.

The project is open-source under a Creative Commons license CC BY-NC-SA 4.0, so feel free to check out the code and contribute. (see DEVELOPERS.md for details)
