Hello, im am using Sway for my window manager, i also have nvidia proprietary drivers if maybe thats a problem. but the problem is that when i start up spotify it doesnt let me play any music or click any buttons, after 30 seconds music starts playing but it takes another 30 seconds to change music. The music is uninterupted but the ui is unresposive, same with slack where the whole app freezes.
