LED Controller compatibility

Recently my LED Controller stopped working, and Today I replaced it with a new one, but now it only flashes orange and the remote is not changing it either. Any Ideas?

I tried it out though and it only blinked orange (the old controller had a similar problem where i could not turn off flash)

Make sure your not reversing the 4 pin connector from the controller to the LED strips they can go in the wrong way since they aren't pinned or keyed.

I tried both ways, but the old controller had a similar problem where the flash wouldn't turn off

What do you mean by flash, as in the lighting mode where it changes colors?

Oh I just noticed you got a music LED controller that's why play a song on your speakers and see what happens 

 

It goes with the beat of the music if you wanted a regular controller like before something like this will work:

You replace both the controller and remote right, the controller is the one that made it do the music thing last time.
