Hi, as far as I know, you can do it by changing the GPIO port in the the settings to one, which is using spi:
SPI0-MOSI is available on GPIOs 10 and 38.
Only GPIO 10 is available on all models.
See also note for RPi 3 below.
Additionally, you have to set the following settings in the os: https://github.com/jgarff/rpi_ws281x#spi
I am new to most of this but it seems that https://github.com/jgarff/rpi_ws281x now has SPI support. According to https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=201516 this means you can play music and use the lights at the same time. At the moment on the device settings page it says:
Please correct me if I'm wrong about any of the above.
EDIT: I have tested this, it is definitely do-able I managed to get the RPI to play music and flicker a neopixel at the same time. 😄
