Installed the 'zam-plugins' package. Now I get this

[E][17:29:29.641816] pw.core      | [          core.c:  389 core_new()] 0x5633fd18a6e0: can't find protocol 'PipeWire:Protocol:Native': Operation not supported

There is a difference - the errors are just 3 and the first and the third are actually identical.

So the message says that you're missing ZamGate-ladspa.so library. Does installing zam-plugins solve the issue? This package should provide the missing library.

# ls  /usr/lib/ladspa/
lsp-plugins-ladspa.so

p.s. upon reboot the strange effect (regarding the first played song only) disappeared and now 'mpv' again throws the same bunch of message on every song.

What's inside your /usr/lib/ladspa/ directory? Is there ZamGate-ladspa.so present?

I installed the missing packages and there is some kind of an improvement. Since the 'mpv' shuffles the files I tested this a few times. The result is the same - no matter which song is played first I get this message

[E][11:55:35.888891][ plugin_ladspa.c:  339 impl_init()] failed to load plugin '/usr/lib/ladspa/ZamGate-ladspa.so': No such file or directory

And then while playing the rest of the songs the message no longer appears. I find this strange.

Neither is pipewire-audio installed here.
When searching for pipewire apt shows me those packages as installed. Maybe you're still missing some or there is some configuration error?

I installed it but it did nothing. I still get the same messages.

What I don't understand is why 'mpv' throws such messages if 'pipewire-audio' is not installed on my system.

dummy@example.com (Elyon) — Fri, 27 Mar 2026 16:16:19 +0000

Does sudo apt install lsp-plugins-ladspa solve the problem?

Re: mpv annoying pipewire messages

dummy@example.com (amaro) — Fri, 27 Mar 2026 16:11:33 +0000

You were right. I was missing the 'libpipewire-0.3-modules' package. I installed it.
Now I get

mpv --shuffle --volume=78 --no-video *

Maybe install pipewire if that's what you need?

Edit:

I've tried your command on my system. don't get similar message as yours and everything looks well and good.

There are three packages installed on my system. maybe you're missing them?

mpv annoying pipewire messages

dummy@example.com (amaro) — Fri, 27 Mar 2026 15:16:15 +0000

Hello everybody!

I get the following annoying messages in console when playing mp3 files

mpv --shuffle --volume=78 --no-video *

[W][16:58:58.002110] pw.module    | [   impl-module.c:   64 find_module()] could not open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pipewire-0.3: No such file or directory

Looks like something 'pipewire' related is missing. How to fix it?
Thank you in advance!
