Bot not joining voice channel and not leaving and error messages

voice

Issue description

Apologies if this is not categorized correctly.

I am attempting to build a discord music bot with discordjs. I have previously built music playing bots that have worked completely fine however now the bot is not joining the voice channel. I don't think it's an issue with play-dl since the bot isn't even joining any channel and there are no error messages.

The bot will sometimes also appear offline for a few seconds before coming back online when the user submits a new interaction.

For this, I have designed it where when a user submits a new query, an entry is saved to mongodb that contains information from play-dl, the guildId, and the voiceChannelId. An event is then emitted that retrieves the next item in the queue, creats a voice connection if necessary, then plays the song. I have confirmed that the correct ids are being saved and used. I have also confirmed that the event does fire and the handler is called.

Everything i've read up on the documentation says this should be working however I don't know if i'm just missing something. I've tried all other avenues to find a solution but I haven't found anything that works. Additionally it does not seem to cause an error as there are no error messages and all the logs print.

Code sample

// my client
const client = new Client({
  intents: [
    GatewayIntentBits.Guilds,
    GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages,
    GatewayIntentBits.GuildVoiceStates
  ]
});

// event handler after user submission
events.on(eventNames.PlayNextEvent, async () => {
  logger.logInfo(eventNames.PlayNextEvent);
  const item = await queue.next();
  const guild = client.guilds.cache.get(item.guildId);

  // establish voice channel connection
  if (!VoiceConnection) {
    logger.logInfo(`creating voice connection in guild ${item.guildId} in channel ${item.voiceChannelId}...`);

    // global variable created outside the handler
    VoiceConnection = joinVoiceChannel({
      channelId: item.voiceChannelId,
      guild: guild.id,
      adapterCreator: guild.voiceAdapterCreator,
      selfMute: false,
      debug: true
    });

    VoiceConnection.on('debug', (m) => {
      console.log('Voice Debug:', m);
    });
  }

  const stream = await play.stream(item.info.url);

  if (!stream) {
    logger.logError('stream is null');
    return;
  }

  const resource = createAudioResource(stream.stream, {
    inputType: stream.type
  });

  let discordPlayer = createAudioPlayer({
    behaviors: {
      noSubscriber: NoSubscriberBehavior.Stop
    }
  });
  discordPlayer.play(resource);
  VoiceConnection.subscribe(discordPlayer);
  logger.logInfo(`playing "${item.title}"`);

  VoiceConnection.on('stateChange', (oldState, newState) => {
    console.log(`Connection transitioned from ${oldState.status} to ${newState.status}`);
  });
});
