Beginner to Discord JS, Audio Not Playing

Hello, I just started learning discord js, i wrote a simple connect and playcommand using the guide but didnt work, asked gpt to add some state logs and here is the code. The bot joins the channel but no sound is played 
const { SlashCommandBuilder } = require('discord.js');
const {
    joinVoiceChannel,
    createAudioPlayer,
    createAudioResource,
    AudioPlayerStatus,
    VoiceConnectionStatus,
    entersState,
} = require('@discordjs/voice');
const { join } = require('node:path');
const fs = require('node:fs');

module.exports = {
    data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
        .setName('nya')
        .setDescription('test me nya!'),

    async execute(interaction) {
        const channel = interaction.member.voice.channel;

        if (!channel) {
            return interaction.reply({ content: 'āŒ You must be in a voice channel!', ephemeral: true });
        }

        await interaction.reply('Nyaa~ šŸ±');

        // Join voice channel
        console.log('šŸ”§ Connecting to voice channel...');
        const connection = joinVoiceChannel({
            channelId: channel.id,
            guildId: channel.guild.id,
            adapterCreator: channel.guild.voiceAdapterCreator,
            // selfDeaf: false,
        });

        connection.on('stateChange', (oldState, newState) => {
            console.log(`šŸ”„ Voice connection: ${oldState.status} -> ${newState.status}`);
        });

        // Try to wait until connection is ready (handle timeout gracefully)
        try {
            await entersState(connection, VoiceConnectionStatus.Ready, 15_000);
            console.log('āœ… Voice connection is ready!');
        } catch (error) {
            console.warn('āš ļø Voice connection is taking too long. Continuing anyway...');
        }

        // Prepare audio file
        const filePath = join(__dirname, 'nya.wav');
        console.log('šŸ“ Resolved audio path:', filePath);

        if (!fs.existsSync(filePath)) {
            console.error('āŒ Audio file not found:', filePath);
            return interaction.followUp({ content: 'āŒ Audio file not found.', ephemeral: true });
        }

        const resource = createAudioResource(filePath, { inlineVolume: true });
        resource.volume.setVolume(0.5);

        // Create player
        const player = createAudioPlayer();

        player.on('stateChange', (oldState, newState) => {
            console.log(`šŸŽµ Audio player: ${oldState.status} -> ${newState.status}`);

            if (newState.status === AudioPlayerStatus.AutoPaused) {
                console.warn('āš ļø Audio auto-paused! Probably alone in voice channel.');
                const members = channel.members.filter(member => !member.user.bot);
                console.log(`šŸ‘„ Non-bot members in VC: ${members.size}`);
            }

            if (newState.status === AudioPlayerStatus.Idle && oldState.status !== AudioPlayerStatus.Idle) {
                console.log('šŸ›‘ Playback finished. Leaving voice channel.');
                connection.destroy();
            }
        });

        player.on(AudioPlayerStatus.Playing, () => {
            console.log('āœ… Audio is playing!');
        });

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

        connection.subscribe(player);
        console.log('ā–¶ļø Subscribed to player. Starting playback...');
        player.play(resource);
    },
};
const { SlashCommandBuilder } = require('discord.js');
const {
    joinVoiceChannel,
    createAudioPlayer,
    createAudioResource,
    AudioPlayerStatus,
    VoiceConnectionStatus,
    entersState,

    async execute(interaction) {
        const channel = interaction.member.voice.channel;

        if (!channel) {
            return interaction.reply({ content: 'āŒ You must be in a voice channel!', ephemeral: true });
        }

        await interaction.reply('Nyaa~ šŸ±');

        // Join voice channel
        console.log('šŸ”§ Connecting to voice channel...');
        const connection = joinVoiceChannel({
            channelId: channel.id,
            guildId: channel.guild.id,
            adapterCreator: channel.guild.voiceAdapterCreator,
            // selfDeaf: false,
        });

        connection.on('stateChange', (oldState, newState) => {
            console.log(`šŸ”„ Voice connection: ${oldState.status} -> ${newState.status}`);
        });

        // Try to wait until connection is ready (handle timeout gracefully)
        try {
            await entersState(connection, VoiceConnectionStatus.Ready, 15_000);
            console.log('āœ… Voice connection is ready!');
        } catch (error) {
            console.warn('āš ļø Voice connection is taking too long. Continuing anyway...');
        }

        // Prepare audio file
        const filePath = join(__dirname, 'nya.wav');
        console.log('šŸ“ Resolved audio path:', filePath);

        if (!fs.existsSync(filePath)) {
            console.error('āŒ Audio file not found:', filePath);
            return interaction.followUp({ content: 'āŒ Audio file not found.', ephemeral: true });
        }

        const resource = createAudioResource(filePath, { inlineVolume: true });
        resource.volume.setVolume(0.5);

        // Create player
        const player = createAudioPlayer();

        player.on('stateChange', (oldState, newState) => {
            console.log(`šŸŽµ Audio player: ${oldState.status} -> ${newState.status}`);

            if (newState.status === AudioPlayerStatus.AutoPaused) {
                console.warn('āš ļø Audio auto-paused! Probably alone in voice channel.');
                const members = channel.members.filter(member => !member.user.bot);
                console.log(`šŸ‘„ Non-bot members in VC: ${members.size}`);
            }

            if (newState.status === AudioPlayerStatus.Idle && oldState.status !== AudioPlayerStatus.Idle) {
                console.log('šŸ›‘ Playback finished. Leaving voice channel.');
                connection.destroy();
            }
        });

        player.on(AudioPlayerStatus.Playing, () => {
            console.log('āœ… Audio is playing!');
        });

        player.on('error', error => {

        console.log('ā–¶ļø Subscribed to player. Starting playback...');
        player.play(resource);
    },
};
Here is what gets logged: šŸ”§ Connecting to voice channel... āš ļø Voice connection is taking too long. Continuing anyway... šŸ“ Resolved audio path: h:\Programming\Discord Bot Practice\discord-bot\commands\voice\nya.wav šŸ”„ Voice connection: signalling -> signalling ā–¶ļø Subscribed to player. Starting playback... šŸŽµ Audio player: idle -> buffering šŸŽµ Audio player: buffering -> playing āœ… Audio is playing! šŸŽµ Audio player: playing -> autopaused āš ļø Audio auto-paused! Probably alone in voice channel. šŸ‘„ Non-bot members in VC: 1 any guidance will be appreciated <3
