When I install WLED on my ESP32, it asks me which version I want to install. If I used the non-SoundReactive version, v15, the WS2805 is present in the list when I set up my strips. However, when I install the SoundReactive version, the WS2805 isn’t there… and my strips don’t work.

That’s why I’m asking. However, if there’s a way, let me know. I already have a microphone connected to my ESP32.

0.15 and up always contain audio reactive by default unless you special build with it disabled.
