DF2301QG V1.0 Skips to done when esp enters loop Issues

so i noticed my voice recognition sensor always goes “ you are welcome to” and then it immediately skips to ‘done’ when the i2c connects in the loop. the  volume noticeably drops by a lot not sure if that affects other things . i tried putting a delay at the end of the end of the setup codes, didnt work. is it only me or its general. using ESP 32s3. for clarity if there if i do not communicate with a controller it works fine.

PS too. i had to change to a modified library on github this year. the original was causing a panic to the controller with a firebase some other code at the time
