+title: "`audio` feature is now no longer implied by the `3d`, `2d`, or `ui` features"
+pull_requests: [23126]
+---
+
+Our `default` features used to be
+- 2d
+- 3d
+- ui
+
+where each of these features enabled the `audio` feature among others.
+
+Since Cargo doesn't allow selectively disabling features, if you wished to disable `bevy_audio`, either because you don't need audio or because you use an alternative such as bevy_seedling, you had a problem with that. 
+You needed to essentially enable all features enabled by the above *except* `audio`, leading to a big `features` soup. To avoid this,
+`audio` is now no longer enabled by the above features, but instead enabled by default, bumping our default features to:
+- 2d
+- 3d,
+- ui
+- audio
+
+Now what does this mean for you? 
+- If you used all default features before, nothing changes for you. 
+- If you want to opt out of using `bevy_audio`, it is now as simple as disabling default features, and manually opting into `3d`, `2d`, and/or `ui`.
+- If you already opted into non-default features and want to continue using `bevy_audio`, you will now have to add the `audio` feature.
