same here

Likely the format of the audio file is wrong.

Try executing the model directly inside the /node_modules/whisper-node/lib/whisper.cpp/main -m models/ggml-base.en.bin -f /file.wav

and see if you get a transcription or an error

@Dletta I've tried with a few .wav files I know are properly formatted and still get this same error.

I tried using v1.1.0 and it wasn't crashing for me anymore but only returned an empty array

Have you tried:

Try executing the model directly inside the /node_modules/whisper-node/lib/whisper.cpp/main -m models/ggml-base.en.bin -f /file.wav

This way you might find why whisper is returning an empty array.
