Listening device

[JutKip]

I'm using ESP8266 and WS2812B led light strips
I made my LedFx work perfectly but it's a bummer that It cant listen to pc sound
but instead, it just listens to my microphone
Is there any way around that? can I make it listen to pc somehow?
btw I'm a complete rookie in all this coding and programming world
If anyone can help it would be gladly appreciated!

Instead of a microphone follow the instructions for a 1/8in input. Output from your headphone jack to that. Use a y cable to send audio to the esp and your speakers. Does that help? Adrian Stucker 513.341.LENS

Thank you for fast reply sir!
I don't have headphone jacks, I have wireless headphones via USB
I'm really sorry but I'm a big rookie...I don't know what do you mean by "1/8 input" and "use a y cable"

How would you hook you music up to speakers? You need a solution for that to begin with. Just Google the terms you don't understand! Adrian Stucker 513.341.LENS

Thank you very much for you're time sir

Exactly right. Set up a virtual line in, then set that as the input device in LedFx. Setting up your virtual input will be different depending on your operating system, have a look and let us know what you end up settling on!

Can I ask you to try the LedFx Exe version 0.0.3: https://ledfx.app/download/ - note, only x64 bit environment
I have documented sound options on: https://ledfx.readthedocs.io/en/docs/trouble.html#speaker-sound
