bot joins to voice channel, doesn't play any sound, times out and disconnects

hi there! im following the basic example repo, although is a common error, i wonder, since i basically have the same code as the repo 
const player = createAudioPlayer();

const playSong = () => {
  const resource = createAudioResource(
    "https://www.soundhelix.com/examples/mp3/SoundHelix-Song-1.mp3",
    { inputType: StreamType.Arbitrary }
  );
  player.play(resource);

  return entersState(player, AudioPlayerStatus.Playing, 5000);
};

// TODO: Refactor in its own file
const connectToChannel = async (channel: VoiceBasedChannel) => {
  const connection = joinVoiceChannel({
    channelId: channel.id,
    guildId: channel.guild.id,
    adapterCreator: createDiscordJSAdapter(channel),
    selfDeaf: false,
    selfMute: false,
  });

  // FIX: It connects but the status is not correctly set so it never plays
  // FIX: Times out instead of entering idle
  try {
    await entersState(connection, VoiceConnectionStatus.Ready, 30_000);

    return connection;
  } catch (err) {
    connection.destroy();

    throw err;
  }
};
const player = createAudioPlayer();

const playSong = () => {
  const resource = createAudioResource(
    "https://www.soundhelix.com/examples/mp3/SoundHelix-Song-1.mp3",
    { inputType: StreamType.Arbitrary }
  );
  player.play(resource);

  return entersState(player, AudioPlayerStatus.Playing, 5000);
};

// TODO: Refactor in its own file
const connectToChannel = async (channel: VoiceBasedChannel) => {
  const connection = joinVoiceChannel({
    channelId: channel.id,
    guildId: channel.guild.id,
    adapterCreator: createDiscordJSAdapter(channel),
    selfDeaf: false,
    selfMute: false,
  });

  // FIX: It connects but the status is not correctly set so it never plays
  // FIX: Times out instead of entering idle
  try {
    await entersState(connection, VoiceConnectionStatus.Ready, 30_000);

    return connection;
  } catch (err) {
    connection.destroy();

    throw err;
  }
};

yes, all this is the index.ts and i just followed the repo which abstracts the VoiceAdapter to the function in adapter.ts in the repo, let me try it out!

i plan to refactor it but when i've used my own ready.ts to instatiate the client and parse my commands but when i call the playSong(), player instance and adapter that the repo calls on index.ts the functions never get triggered because they dont log anything

let me try it brb weird right? i saw the discordjs.guide and all, and copied the code by hand, reading the types and interfaces but couldnt get why it did it like that instead of using the normal creator, its a shame that actual .ts implementations are so scarce for the discord api huh, it worked with the normal adapter 10 months is old? haha wow, i thought it was kinda recent, this api and its ecosystem go fast af gotta admit
