Answer 1

Are you using this method? https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/VoiceConnection?scrollTo=play

As you didn't provide any code...

I had the same issue, that day i did two things, but i don't know which one was the fix.

• Actaullay download FFMPEG http://ffmpeg.org/download.html - put executable (ffmpeg.exe) in project directory EDIT: Don't download source code, download from Get packages & executable files for your OS
• Update node.js to newest version https://nodejs.org/en/

I'm not sure which one of the fixes it was. But now it also works without the file in directory, so I'm kinda confused

Also try requiring ffmpeg-binaries in the js file
