[a-jey]

What happened?

Release note says:
Audioreactive usermod included by default in all compatible builds (including full audio sync recieve for ESP8266 - Frequency and Volume)

After updating from 0.14.4 I can't find any option to activate audio sync receive on my ESP8266.

Expected Behavior

Finding an option to activate and setup audio sync receive from another device.

Install Method

Binary from WLED.me

What version of WLED?

0.15.0

Which microcontroller/board are you seeing the problem on?

ESP8266

Relevant log/trace output

You have to use the 160 build , example is WLED_0.15.0_ESP8266_160.bin

Thank you.
That wasn't clear from the Release Notes.
It's maybe worth a small add there.0

I've read from several users in several discussions that they got the same problem.

@a-jey I've just added this to our release page: "For 8266, the 160mhz firmware binaries (for example WLED_0.15.0_ESP8266_160.bin) include audio sync receiving."

@softhack007 Not related to this issue but to the info on the releases page , my understanding is that you just edit like below

So only a maintainer can do that and no way to PR it? if so then might be also look at fixing this
#4447

Is there a reason it's only on this variant @softhack007 we use in our regular 8266 for MM

It was mentioned that it may impact performance ,https://discord.com/channels/473448917040758787/779395228624617512/1297293939971198977 . It was not clear what issues but blaz uses a lot of esp8266 so could be a point to consider .

As of now there are reports of connectivity issues with esp8266 even without audio sync which could be false positive or due to HA , HW quality ,network setup ..etc as usual which not new , I did not notice such issues when testing using ddp esp8266 D1 mini or esp02 but only confirmed issues on esp01 ( we only beta test esp8266 with DDP and do not use them in production so can not be 100% sure with local led output ) .

From above it may be a good idea for now to keep audio on the 160MHz bin only as in all cases it is a compile time build flag and when you say "we use in our regular 8266 for MM" are you really sure there are no issues in MM because I do not think a lot of guys use MM on esp8266 to start with and few are testing in details if any .
