Windows 10 + Intel Core i5 CPU: local whisper-cli crash (ggml-cpu.dll 0xc000001d), need non-AVX2 build
Hi Vowen team,
I found the root cause on my side and need your help with a compatible build.
Environment:
Windows 10 (10.0.19045.6456)
CPU: Intel Core i5-2400 (4 cores)
Vowen: 0.2.8
Mic is detected and recording works
Issue:
Hotkey recording starts/stops, but transcription fails.
Error shown in app:
Transcription failed: Command failed: "...\\whisper-cli.exe" ...Saved recording is created successfully, but local transcription crashes.
What I verified:
Microphone is working (Microphone (USB PnP Audio Device)).
Vowen actually accesses mic.
Crash happens in local Whisper runtime.
Relevant Windows Application log entries:
Faulting application: whisper-cli.exe
Faulting module: C:\Users\dimabot\AppData\Local\Programs\Vowen\resources\lib\ggml-cpu.dll
Exception code: 0xc000001d (illegal instruction)
This strongly suggests the bundled ggml-cpu.dll/whisper-cli.exe requires CPU instructions not supported by my processor.
Request:
Could you provide a legacy/non-AVX2 (or generally older CPU-compatible) build of whisper-cli and ggml-cpu.dll for Vowen on Windows?
Thanks!

Hey @Дмитрий Салямон , we’ve addressed this issue in our latest update v0.4.5. Do try it out and let us know what you think. Thanks

Hey @Дмитрий Салямон , we looked into adding support for this. It’s possible for us to add support for this, but it looks like it’s greatly reducing the performance of the models locally. This will take more time for us to figure out. We’ll keep you posted.
