Based on the error message you're receiving, it appears you're encountering a WebSocket connection issue when trying to connect to Deepgram's API from a Next.js application. Let's analyze the problem and provide some potential solutions.

1. Authentication Issue:
   The most common reason for a WebSocket connection to be refused is an authentication problem. In your code, you're not including the API key in the WebSocket connection URL. Deepgram requires authentication for WebSocket connections.

2. CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) Issue:
   While your server-side code sets CORS headers, these don't apply to WebSocket connections. Ensure your client-side code is connecting from an allowed origin.

3. Incorrect WebSocket URL:
   Make sure you're using the correct WebSocket URL for Deepgram's API.

Here are some steps to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:

1. Include API Key in WebSocket Connection:
   When establishing the WebSocket connection, you need to include your Deepgram API key in the request headers. Here's an example of how to do this:

const socket = new WebSocket('wss://api.deepgram.com/v1/listen?model=nova-2&language=vi-VN&smart_format=true&encoding=webm&channels=1&sample_rate=16000&interim_results=true&punctuate=true', {
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Token ${YOUR_DEEPGRAM_API_KEY}`
  }
});

2. Check API Key:
   Ensure that your Deepgram API key is valid and has the necessary permissions.

3. Verify WebSocket Support:
   Confirm that your hosting environment supports WebSocket connections.

4. Use Deepgram SDK:
   Consider using the official Deepgram SDK for JavaScript, which handles authentication and connection details for you. You can find more information in the Deepgram SDK documentation.

5. Check Network and Firewall:
   Ensure that your network or firewall is not blocking WebSocket connections.

6. Implement Error Handling:
   Implement proper error handling in your WebSocket connection code to catch and log specific errors. This can provide more detailed information about the connection failure.

If you continue to experience issues after trying these solutions, you may want to check the Deepgram documentation on troubleshooting WebSocket errors for more specific guidance.

Remember, when working with WebSockets in Next.js, you typically need to handle the WebSocket connection on the client-side (in a useEffect hook or similar) rather than in an API route, as API routes are designed for HTTP requests, not persistent WebSocket connections.
