Controlled by radio-frequency capacitive touch, effective control distance up to 20 mUsed convenient at night with LED backlightWith 3.5MM audio, non-interfered music mode works betterColor changing is more exquisite with PWMAvailable for all sorts of constant voltage RGB lamps, such as RGB strip strip, RGB panel lights, RGB light modules etc.
well, technically it isnt a matter of no lights, they still operate with the pre-built features that come native with the device. the audio control feature just doesnt function.
any yes, the computer powering the device also supplies the audio out, which is then received by the device through the 3.5mm audio in.
I've adjusted all volumes to the recommended settings, and that was not successful.
For your reference, here is the exact controller

As you can see, the audio and the power are "isolated" in the sense that the device is powered from one input and receives the audio from another.
Interference should not be an issue because I've run the cables far from the internal components.
I totally agree when you say it should work...and it does when it is connected to anything but my computer. So that makes me think that something specific about the audio line out / stereo out ports in this specific computer confuse the device...
Somewhere between the UK plug and the wires connecting the LEDs is a power supply that provides a constant current source for the LEDs in the string. Because this internal power supply is regulated to always provide the same amount of power to the LEDs regardless of the AC input voltage and can accommodate a voltage range from probably 200V to 240V AC, varying the AC voltage going into the UK plug will not change the intensity of the LEDs. What you have to do is change the voltage going directly to the LEDs. You could hire someone to design and build a controller that uses an audio signal to control the voltage going to the LEDs, or you could just buy something like this
The device I linked is designed to drive a pair of RGB LED strings from a stereo audio input but you can connect a single color or white LED string to any one of the RGB outputs and it should work.
