Arch Linux - Sound doesn't work on 23.12.1 with mpv

This has worked before with my decks and now suddenly it shows that Anki has encountered an error that is caused probably from the decks. However, I disabled all of them and still has no sound.

I’ve tried everything from pacman -Syu, (luckily) reinstalling the system with Arch, but no chance. Since I am using a very old machine, it isn’t possible to run the latest Anki, despite having a AMD64 architecture (sadly).

Here is the copy of the debug in Anki:

Definitely something with mpv, as I didn’t notice that they updated. Downgraded to 0.37.1. More info here - Arch Linux Archive - ArchWiki, or pacman -U https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/m/mpv/mpv-1%3A0.37.0-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
