Audio error on Arch linux

Anki Help
1

Hello
I tried both Anki-bin and Anki from AUR. (In safe mode)
mpv-git is installed.
But either way I’m getting this error

Anki 23.12.1 (1a1d4d54) (src) 
Python 3.11.8 Qt 6.6.2 PyQt 6.6.1
Platform: Linux-6.8.2-arch1-1-x86_64-with-glibc2.39

Traceback (most recent call last):

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

What could possibly be the cause?

You are welcome to continue using your distro’s version of Anki if you prefer, but if you run into any issues, you will need to report them to your distribution’s package maintainers.
Linux Distro Packages - Anki Manual

Try with the mpv in the extra repo

Arch Linux - mpv 1:0.37.0-2 (x86_64)
