Describe the bug Once in a while while listening to music synced to wled, I notice the led strip becomes jaggy and stutters for a few seconds, before working properly again. To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: Connect to WLED strip, start music and wait for a few minutes. Expected behavior The light should be smooth all the time. Screenshots https://imgur.com/a/W0goU2Y You can see the issue clearly in this video. Until around 18 seconds, the light strip is stuttering and not synced to the music. After that, it becomes smooth again. Traceback If applicable, add the traceback log that LedFx outputs when it encounters an error. Usually starts with "Traceback (most recent call last):"

LedFx Host Information (please complete the following information):

Additional context The led strip is controlled by WLED 0.14.0 on esp32. The computer is connected via 5Ghz wifi and the esp is connected via 2.4Ghz

I don't recognize the version number of ledf you are quoting. Please screen shot.

The video though appreciated, doesn't really show anything, is this a single color strip or fully addressable.

Upgrade your wled to 0.14.4 for sure

Look to your networking before pointing towards ledfx as the source of stuttering.

2.0.72, just edited.

Single color.

Look to your networking before pointing towards ledfx as the source of stuttering.

The device has good ping and no packet drops, so I don't think that's the issue.

@Andrei-Iosifescu123 I had this same issue! In my case it was the wifi being too weak. Maybe try placing the chip closer to your router? In my case an ESP32-WROOM 32U with an antenna helped to strengthen the signal. You can search it on aliexpress, they're cheap there
