Reproduction steps

Try to reproduce your issue with --no-config first. If it isn't reproducible with --no-config try to first find out which option or script causes your issue. I tried with --no-config and it still does not work for me. And I also tried the classic reinstalling and restart computer and even reinstalling my video drivers while I was at it.

Describe the reproduction steps as precise as possible. It's very likely that the bug you experience wasn't reproduced by the developer because the workflow differs from your own. my conf files is as shown:

script-opts=ytdl_hook-ytdl_path=/usr/bin/yt-dlp
hwdec=vaapi
audio-device=pipewire

Expected behavior

Audio plays through my headphones just as any other program can do fine with. My audio works completely fine with discord, my browser, and even on rhythmbox (a music player program for linux)

Actual behavior

MPV throws an error saying that pipewire could not wait for initalization

I've tried to look for some sort of solution using search engines but I only found people who weren't using mpv like I was, or their issue sounded like mine but it was not
