Electron renderer crashes after importing @discordjs/voice

In my electron project I have the renderer set up as below:

let win = new BrowserWindow({
    webPreferences: {
        nodeIntegration: true,
        contextIsolation: false,
        sandbox: false,
        devTools: !app.isPackaged
    },
    autoHideMenuBar: true
})

win.loadFile(resolve(__dirname, "../../static/index.html"));

let win = new BrowserWindow({
    webPreferences: {
        nodeIntegration: true,
        contextIsolation: false,
        sandbox: false,
        devTools: !app.isPackaged
    },
    autoHideMenuBar: true
})

win.loadFile(resolve(__dirname, "../../static/index.html"));

Everything works fine until I run require("@discordjs/voice"); (also tried this in DevTools console), when the whole window turns black and DevTools says

DevTools was disconnected from the page. Once page is reloaded, DevTools will automatically reconnect.

I have looked at Electron docs and there it says that DevTools disconnecting signalizes a V8 crash. With --enable-logging Electron flag, the only thing printed out in console is:

Renderer process crashed - see https://www.electronjs.org/docs/tutorial/application-debugging for potential debugging information.
