Alsa has dmix on by default, which takes care of several sources. To this day I have not understood why distros insist on forcing this quality destroying, problem creating mess down everyones throat. > > I have ditch pulse as well ;) Use pavucontrol, run both mpv anf GW2 and check which no showing in Playback tab in pavucontrol One fix for app who use alsa instead pulse, is setting ~/.asoundrc and adding: ~~~~ # Default to PulseAudio pcm.!default { type pulse fallback "sysdefault" hint { show on description "Default ALSA Output (currently PulseAudio Sound Server)" } } ctl.!default { type pulse fallback "sysdefault" } ~~~~ If you in Arch you can install https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/pulseaudio-alsa/ instead of changing ~/.asoundrc

Haven't narrowed the culprit down yet. > My only problems rise when listening to something locally stored via mpv. Whats is your distro? Did you change ~/.config/mpv/mpv.conf? Did you change ~/.config/pulse/default.pa? Did you change ~/.asoundrc?
