whisper.cpp: main.exe silently crashes

I’ve tried using whisper.net and failed due to external errors (from whisper-cpp) occuring on model loading. Then I’ve also tried using compiled binaries from v1.4.0 and then v1.2.0 and neither of them worked. I’ve also tried several different models (mostly the base ones, including both ggml-model-whisper-base.en.bin and ggml-model-whisper-base.bin) with the sample wav and none of them work for me.

my prompt is main.exe -m ggml-model-whisper-base.en.bin -f jfk.wav -l en -t 8

main.exe outputs the following:

whisper_init_from_file: loading model from 'ggml-model-whisper-base.en.bin'
whisper_model_load: loading model
whisper_model_load: n_vocab       = 51864
whisper_model_load: n_audio_ctx   = 1500
whisper_model_load: n_audio_state = 512
whisper_model_load: n_audio_head  = 8
whisper_model_load: n_audio_layer = 6
whisper_model_load: n_text_ctx    = 448
whisper_model_load: n_text_state  = 512
whisper_model_load: n_text_head   = 8
whisper_model_load: n_text_layer  = 6
whisper_model_load: n_mels        = 80
whisper_model_load: f16           = 1
whisper_model_load: type          = 2
whisper_model_load: mem required  =  215.00 MB (+    6.00 MB per decoder)
whisper_model_load: kv self size  =    5.25 MB
whisper_model_load: kv cross size =   17.58 MB
whisper_model_load: adding 1607 extra tokens
whisper_model_load: model ctx     =  140.60 MB
whisper_model_load: model size    =  140.54 MB

After that the process just silently stops.

My computer specs are:

• CPU: Intel Xeon E5-2640
• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
• OS: Win10 x64

Could you please tell me if it’s a hardware issue or am I doing something wrong?
