Audio cutting out when I play more than one stream with pipewire

I installed arch with the archinstall script. This happens both when i choose pipewire during the installation or when i install audio related packages later.

After booting my computer i can run multiple audio streams (youtube, mpv..) and everything seems to be working fine. when i close and reopen one of the apps that was playing audio before, audio stops working system-wide (no sound, youtube loads forever, mpv stops), until i close all but one of the programs trying to play audio. That one program will now only play mono sound into one ear. I can recover stereo sound by reconnecting it in qpwgraph, but it still stops working once i play a second stream.

Everything looks fine in qpwgraph, all channels are properly connected to my headphones.

I tried https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PipeWi … rt_playing but it didn't change anything.
