Descriptions on Attack Rolls instead of Damage Rolls?

I'm currently using the Roll20 Audio Master script by the very talented Scott C. with the 5E OGL Sheets, and it has been working very well using his API by using attack descriptions to automatically play a sound track whenever my NPCs roll for attack. However, I've found that recently, the scripts aren't working as the descriptions now only show on damage rolls rather on attack rolls, meaning the intended sound effects only play after damage is rolled. This isn't a problem in of itself, but I found that the sounds 'feel' much more real when the NPC rolls for attack instead of only after it hits. I'm aware that I can use the Auto-Roll Damage and Crit function, but I was hoping there might be another way to circumvent this or return it to how it was previously. TLDR; is there a way to show attack descriptions on the Attack rolls rather than when rolling for Damage?

As the default behaviour of the sheet was changed recently, you can only achieve this with custom macros, unfortunately. The description area of the NPC action will no longer output to the atk macro under any settings, and presumably this is what triggers the AM script.

@Jeremy H . Roll20 has recently updated the auto attack roll inside the character (or monster) sheet, hit the cogwheel and search in the "General Options" section "Auto Damage Roll" and replace the box with "Auto Damage Roll & Crit". I suppose that's the only thing stopping your flow from getting to the jukebox line. And by the way, if you could share that as a macro, it vould do some amazing mood changes when calling the monster's trait or special abilities. Hope the above fix works,
