Most likley issue [#399](https://github.com/karlstav/cava/issues/399). Locale settings need to be set correctly in order for cava to work.

### Bars not moving

Read the chapter on [capturing audio](#capturing-audio). Depending on your system this might not work automatically. For example if you have pipewire dev files on your system, but are still using pulseaudio, you will have to specify `pulse` as your input method in the cava config file.

### Visualizer reacts to microphone instead of output

This is a known issue with pipewire. Try the workaround described [here](https://github.com/karlstav/cava/issues/422#issuecomment-994270910)
