Everything was running, then the audio service just started to return this error.

Do I need to have ovos_backend_client installed in audio, if yes why is that?

[JarbasAl]

as the error says, its needed for fetching remote configuration if using a backend

This appears related to ovos_config rather than ovos_audio. I believe ovos-backend-client is already optional there but if not this should probably log INFO or lower when remote config isn't expected
