[gnome-mpv]

Can you check if mpv works?

[Akinevz]

MPV returns the same first two lines of error on the same file

[gnome-mpv]

In that case, it's probably something to do with WSL. From the error messages, it looks like no sound card could be detected. I don't know much about WSL, so I'm not sure what went wrong.
