An error occurred while writing to file

This is my first post on this forum. I am clearly not as knowledgeable of many of you so please be patient with me.
I have the following issue, I installed the latest version foobar2000_v1.5 with Free_Encoder_Pack-2019-08-04. Next I followed the suggestions on this page: https://captainrookie.com/how-to-convert-flac-files-to-mp3-using-foobar2000/

If I than try to convert flac files into mp3 I get the following:

Source: "C:\Users\hansw\Documents\Prive\Music\Editors - 2014 - Pinkpop\01 - Nothing.flac"
  An error occurred while writing to file (The encoder has terminated prematurely with code -1 (0xFFFFFFFF); please re-check parameters) : "C:\Users\hansw\Documents\Prive\Music\Editors - 2014 - Pinkpop\01 - Nothing.mp3"
  Additional information:
  Encoder stream format: 44100Hz / 6ch / 16bps
  Command line: "C:\Program Files (x86)\foobar2000\encoders\lame.exe" -S --noreplaygain -b 320 - "01 - Nothing.mp3"
  Working folder: C:\Users\hansw\Documents\Prive\Music\Editors - 2014 - Pinkpop\

I tried all kinds of things but I cannot solve it. What do I miss? I have used foobar2000 for years without issues but re-installed it on a new laptop. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Downmix to stereo, or use a lossy format other than MP3, which only supports mono or stereo input.
