Strange bug with Numpy and faster_whisper

[thesystemera]

Hey all. Something that came up super random today, out of the blue. When installing the latest faster_whisper, it seems to break my numpy. I've done a complete fresh build trying to work this out, uninstalled and reinstalled my developers environment hoping it was some phantom behavour. Have tried installing and uninstalling multiple versions of faster_whisper and even a few versions of numpy with no luck. Even if I uninstall the faster_whisper, the numpy stays broken! Doing my absolute head in, had a coding demo on Tuesday and well, Running out of options. Heres an example code snippet I get. `E:\New_Python_Environment\Testing\pythonProject.venv\Scripts\python.exe E:\New_Python_Environment\Testing\pythonProject\testing.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
