Sound Reactive issues with version 0.15.0 vs 0.13.4

Am using a ESP32 WROOM-32 development board in sound reactive mode with a MAX4466 microphone connected to D33 & a 40x7(280 LED’s) WS2812B LED matrix connected to D16 (Segment 0) while another WS2812B LED strip with 80 LED’s is connected to D17(Segment 1).

With WLED version 0.15.0, I fail to get any LED response (Segment 0 & 1 stay OFF) using any of the audio reactive modes irrespective of any changes made on squelch, gain, etc. All other non audio reactive modes work perfectly.

Same setup without any change is hardware, etc if downgarded to WLED version 0.13.4, works perfectly. The 40X7 WS2812B LED matrix works beautifuly in any of the sound reactive modes including GEQ. The issues with this version is I cannot use the additional LED connected to D17(Segment 1) as in 2D configuration does not let me keep outside the matrix configuration.

Any suggesitions on what I may be missing while using version 0.15.0…or how can I add an additional segment strip in the matrix configuration in version 0.13.4 will be much appreciated.
