Several users reported that this alternative, unofficial installer site may work better: [https://wled-install.github.io/](https://wled-install.github.io/).
After using the standard WLED installer, microphone hardware sometimes cannot be initialized properly by WLED.

!!! tip
If your serial port is listed on linux ('ttyUSB0 CP2102' or similar) but you are unable to open it, make sure you give yourself permission to use that device.
Find the owner with:
`ls -la /dev/ttyUSB0` (replace ttyUSB0 with your device). If it says `root`, Chrome will not be able to open it.
Make yourself the owner by running `whoami` to get your username, and then to change the owner:
`sudo chown {your username} /dev/ttyUSB0`(replace ttyUSB0 with your device).

### Flashing method 2: esptool

- First of all, please follow the steps to install esptool.py [here](https://github.com/espressif/esptool).
