nRF5340 audio DK WALKIE_TALKIE_DEMO build error

[gfgf2400a]

Hi, I am using nRF5340 audio DK PCA10121, NCS 2.1.1 I am following https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/nrf/applications/nrf5340_audio/README.html#enabling-the-walkie-talkie-demo to have prj.conf with CONFIG_WALKIE_TALKIE_DEMO=y.

I got this undefined symbol error "c:/Projects/Amoeba/BLE-Firmware/central_comm_node/prj.conf:70: warning: attempt to assign the value 'y' to the undefined symbol WALKIE_TALKIE_DEMO".

Here is my complete build trace. Please advise, thanks.

Hi,
I have the same issue using NCS 2.1.2. I can build the normal CIS application, but when I try to add the configure for  the walkie talkie demo "CONFIG_WALKIE_TALKIE_DEMO=y" I get the same error about the "undefined symbol WALKIE_TALKIE_DEMO".

Should this be fixed already in the NCS 2.1.2 release or do I still need to update the repository. If so, what files exactly to I need to update?
Thank you and kind regards

Okay, I managed to get the walkie talkie demo working now, by copying the nrf5340_audio application folder from the repo you shared into my ncs folder structure. 
Is there a way to use the walkie talkie demo with input from the line-in audio jacks? Could I then plug in a microphone to the line-in jack to talk to the other person?

Hi, 

The CONFIG_WALKIE_TALKIE_DEMO changed the input source on the gateway from line-in to onboard PDM MIC.

If you don't want to use PDM MIC but want to use line-in as input source, the you don't need to enable CONFIG_WALKIE_TALKIE_DEMO, but only use CONFIG_STREAM_BIDIRECTIONAL=y and CONFIG_AUDIO_SOURCE__I2S=y will be ready.

However, please be aware that that the microphone might not working directly with line-in port directly. You would likely need a mic amplifier first to convert to a line level signal.
