Unable to play sound from libreoffice impress

Hello,

I would like to add a sound to accompany an animation in the libreoffice impress and having problems.

When I select the sound from the animation effect it plays just fine when select the play button in the menu.

However, when I start the presentation, there is no sound coming out.
I get this error from the console.

qt.multimedia.ffmpeg.mediadataholder: Could not open media. FFmpeg error description: Immediate exit requested.

Strangely, when I insert the same sound as a standalone Audio/Video into the presentation it plays fine.

Also when I play the sound directly from the command line it plays find. I use this command

ffplay /usr/lib/libreoffice/share/gallery/sounds/nature1.wav

I use KDE 6.5.3 and the latest version of libreoffice 25.8.3

Why is this happening?

T
