I am currently using this to join a voice channel and play back audio, but I am getting the error "TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The "chunk" argument must be of type string or an instance of Buffer or Uint8Array. Received type number (73)" As a sanity check I logged my buffer which of course was indeed a buffer, what am I doing wrong? Output:

node: v20.6.1 djs: @14.13.0 @djs/voice: @0.16.0 (I tried replacing the buffer for a file path, which no longer gave an error but also didn't play anything back) (It ended up working with file path, it was simply unclear that I was missing an intent there.. however the buffer method still isn't working, and throws the same error, I also did try making the buffer into a UInt8Array)

@Paige createAudioResource doesn't support buffers as input so it's reasonable that it's throwing an error. Maybe you should convert it to a Readable/Passthrough, which would be something like:

const stream = PassThrough()

stream.write(buffer)

...

const stream = PassThrough()

stream.write(buffer)

...

I'm unsure if that would work, but it's a good try

Yeah I figured that out after reading the source code haha

🤣 Awesome to know you solved it :)
