Reproduction Steps

can re-produce easily with no custom config and with custom config.

tried a few forks like easy mpv and mpv.net and they have the same bug.

1. pause playing video on mpv, can either leave window visible or minimized
2. windows / pc enters sleep
3. resume from sleep
4. press play to resume video
5. no audio plays but video plays normally.
6. to fix, either click seek bar or re-enable audio track

Expected Behavior

pc sleeps with paused video, upon resuming windows and mpv resume with out issue. both audio and video play.

Actual Behavior

only video plays on resuming from sleep.

No response

I carefully read all instruction and confirm that I did the following:

• I tested and confirmed that the issue exists with the latest release version or newer.
• I provided all required information including system and mpv version.
• I produced the log file with the exact same set of files, parameters, and conditions used in "Reproduction Steps", with the addition of --log-file=output.txt.
• I produced the log file while the behaviors described in "Actual Behavior" were actively observed.
• I attached the full, untruncated log file.
• I attached the backtrace in the case of a crash.

Start with the attached output.txt and reproduce the pause, Windows sleep, resume, and playback sequence described in the issue. Trace the audio behavior around resume and verify that audio starts normally without seeking or re-enabling the track; the issue is done when paused video resumes with both audio and video.
