Discord voice doesn't play remote audio on linux

I have a weird behavior where playing audio from an URL works on my windows PC, but doesn't on my linux server. Basically I'm trying to play audio from this url: https://cdn.communitydragon.org/15.4.1/champion/gnar/champ-select/sounds/choose After adding logs I realized that the audio player's state was changing from autopaused to playing and then from playing to idle almost instantly I tried downloading the audio file locally and them playing it and it works fine. I'm using Amazon Linux on my EC2 instance.

I'm using discord.js v14.16.1 with discord.js/voice v0.17.0 and discord.js/opus v0.9.0 I've created a test command here: 
        const resource = createAudioResource('https://cdn.communitydragon.org/15.4.1/champion/gnar/champ-select/sounds/choose');

        const connection = joinVoiceChannel({
            channelId: interaction.member.voice.channel.id,
            guildId: interaction.member.voice.channel.guild.id,
            adapterCreator: interaction.member.voice.channel.guild.voiceAdapterCreator,
        });

        const player = createAudioPlayer();
        connection.subscribe(player);

        connection.on('stateChange', (oldState, newState) => {
            console.log('Voice connection state changed from', oldState.status, 'to', newState.status);

            if (oldState.status === VoiceConnectionStatus.Ready && newState.status === VoiceConnectionStatus.Connecting) {
                connection.configureNetworking();
            }
        });

        player.on('error', (error) => {
            console.error('Audio player error:', error);
        });

        player.on('stateChange', (oldState, newState) => {
            if (oldState.status !== newState.status) {
                console.log(`Player state changed from ${oldState.status} to ${newState.status}`);
            }
        
            if (newState.status === AudioPlayerStatus.Idle) {
                console.log('Audio finished playing!');
                player.stop();
                connection.destroy();
            }
        });

        if (resource) {
            player.play(resource);
            console.log('Playing audio...');
            interaction.reply({ content: 'Playing audio', ephemeral: true });
        } else {
            console.error('Failed to create audio resource.');
            interaction.reply({ content: 'Failed to create audio resource', ephemeral: true });
        }
        const resource = createAudioResource('https://cdn.communitydragon.org/15.4.1/champion/gnar/champ-select/sounds/choose');

        const connection = joinVoiceChannel({
            channelId: interaction.member.voice.channel.id,
            guildId: interaction.member.voice.channel.guild.id,
            adapterCreator: interaction.member.voice.channel.guild.voiceAdapterCreator,
        });

        const player = createAudioPlayer();
        connection.subscribe(player);

        connection.on('stateChange', (oldState, newState) => {
            console.log('Voice connection state changed from', oldState.status, 'to', newState.status);

            if (oldState.status === VoiceConnectionStatus.Ready && newState.status === VoiceConnectionStatus.Connecting) {
                connection.configureNetworking();
            }
        });

        player.on('error', (error) => {
            console.error('Audio player error:', error);
        });

        player.on('stateChange', (oldState, newState) => {
            if (oldState.status !== newState.status) {
                console.log(`Player state changed from ${oldState.status} to ${newState.status}`);
            }
        
            if (newState.status === AudioPlayerStatus.Idle) {
                console.log('Audio finished playing!');
                player.stop();
                connection.destroy();
            }
        });

        if (resource) {
            player.play(resource);
            console.log('Playing audio...');
            interaction.reply({ content: 'Playing audio', ephemeral: true });
        } else {
            console.error('Failed to create audio resource.');
            interaction.reply({ content: 'Failed to create audio resource', ephemeral: true });
        }

I tried that and it didn't fix the issue 
const resource = createAudioResource('https://cdn.communitydragon.org/15.4.1/champion/gnar/champ-select/sounds/choose',{
  inputType: StreamType.Arbitrary
});
const resource = createAudioResource('https://cdn.communitydragon.org/15.4.1/champion/gnar/champ-select/sounds/choose',{
  inputType: StreamType.Arbitrary
});
