Goal

I want to be able to play longer audio files using my discord bot.

Working Code

Using Discord.js and Node.js, I have created a discord bot. So far my code is able to join a voice call and can only play very short audio files <50KB. Which is great, besides the short file part.

Testing Process: to test different audiofiles, I simply replace the path, during the resource creation, to be the desired audio file.

I have tested 5 short files and it works great! But the three long files >~75KB, that I have, do not work. No errors pop up, it just doesn't play.

const { SlashCommandBuilder } = require('@discordjs/builders');
const { joinVoiceChannel } = require('@discordjs/voice');
const { createAudioPlayer , createAudioResource, StreamType} = require('@discordjs/voice');
const { createReadStream } = require('node:fs');
const { join } = require('node:path');

const { VoiceConnectionStatus, AudioPlayerStatus } = require('@discordjs/voice');




module.exports = {
    data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
        .setName('jensenrage')
        .setDescription('Joins channel and plays jensen\'s rage'),

        
        
    async execute(interaction){
        
        const { joinVoiceChannel } = require('@discordjs/voice');
        const channel = interaction.member.voice.channel

        const connection = joinVoiceChannel({
            channelId: channel.id,
            guildId: channel.guild.id,
            adapterCreator: channel.guild.voiceAdapterCreator,
        });
        
        const resource = createAudioResource(createReadStream(join(__dirname, '../AudioFiles/short.mp3')), {
            inlineVolume : true
            
        });

        resource.volume.setVolume(0.2);

        const player = createAudioPlayer();

        connection.subscribe(player);
        player.play(resource)

        await interaction.reply( "Enjoy!")
    }
}

I have looked into why this is, but most of the answers do not explain why the short files play but the long ones do not.

I am assuming that this line is the the issue, but unsure why.

        const resource = createAudioResource(createReadStream(join(__dirname, '../AudioFiles/short.mp3')), {
            inlineVolume : true
            
        });
