Listening device #138

Open JutKip opened 3 years ago

JutKip commented 3 years ago

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?

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"

datadrian commented 3 years ago

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!

Thank you very much for you're time sir I'l give it a try tomorrow Will post an update here Thank you once again!

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!
