Voice Connect Error Timed Out

[ferrenza]

Summary

When attempting a voice connection, the connection process gets stuck after completing the voice handshake and eventually times out without successfully connecting.

Reproduction Steps

• Attempt to connect to a voice channel using discord.py-self.

Observe the logs:

• "Voice handshake complete. Endpoint found: [region].discord.media."
• No follow-up "Voice connection complete."

After ~10 seconds, the client logs "Timed out connecting to voice."

Code

@bot.command()
async def joinvc(ctx):
    if ctx.author.voice:
        await ctx.author.voice.channel.connect()
    else:
        await ctx.send("You are not in a voice channel.")

Expected Results

After the "Voice handshake complete" message, the connection should fully establish, and the log should show "Voice connection complete."

Actual Results

The connection stops after the "Voice handshake complete" stage.
It does not proceed to "Voice connection complete."
After waiting, it times out with "Timed out connecting to voice."

System Information

• Linux Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
• Python 3.12.3
• discord.py-self latest git install

Checklist

• I have confirmed I am using unmodified discord.py-self and not the upstream discord.py.
• I am using a user token (and it isn't visible in the code).
• I have searched the open issues for duplicates.
• I have searched closed issues for resolved duplicates.
• I have confirmed the development version doesn't resolve the issue.
• I have shared the entire traceback.

were you using the latest master as well? that version combined with some fixes has been running nearly flawlessly for me, waiting on two more fixes from upstream to be perfect. if you were and you are still seeing issues, can you please post a new traceback and include a python -m discord --version?

I’ve tried installing pre-release version curl_cffi, but the result is:
the bot connects to the voice channel, but after a while, it gets disconnected and terminated
