Video out sync with audio (Hyprland + PipeWire + AMD)

As the title says, for whatever reason with video playback, it is not in sync with the audio. The audio is slightly a bit ahead of the video making it look like I'm watching a dub almost sometimes behind of the delay. I have tried lots of things, such as messing around with pipewire's config, but that resulted in me completely ruining the audio to the point where I had to reinstall arch to get rid of the popping/clicking sound it created, so I'm not confident in messing with that again. I have also tried messing with monitor settings on the hardware side, and the ones in hyprland to no avail.. looking at MPV in the terminal it says A/V: 0.000, yet there is still a noticeable slight delay with the video. I also ruled out my hardware being too weak to output video as well. I have 5800X3D and an  RX6750 XT. I am at a loss on what to try next at this point.. Has anyone else had this issue?

Re: Video out sync with audio (Hyprland + PipeWire + AMD)

How certain are you that this isn't the specific video you're watching?  Also mpv how, which settings/cmdline are you using? Are you using HWVA or software decoding? Are you using the pipewire or pulseaudio audio backends? Does switching either make a difference?  While I'm sure mpv has options to configure audio/video sync/delay, just from a "pipewire" perspective the easiest would be to start the corresponding video stream with e.g.

PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60 mpv ...

or so which will add a relevant delay in ms.
