AppleTV (tvOS 18.3) can't see AirPlay Speakers (Sonos)

Dear Macrumors Readers,

I noticed a bug which I believe appeared after installing tvOS 18.3.

Suddenly my AppleTV stopped seeing my AirPlay Sonos system so I can't play music/audio to those speakers. The AppleTV is on my home wireless network. My MBA on macOS 15.3.1 and iPhone on iOS 18.3.1 both can AirPlay to those speakers with no issues at all, being on the same wireless network.

Can anyone test their home setup if you have AppleTV and any AirPlay speakers, and confirm if you have the same problem please.

Cheers

Ok, I found what the problem is. Apple changed the way the present icons for external speakers. On Mac and iPhone every external speaker is indicated with a speaker icon, and that makes perfect sense. But on Apple TV, they suddenly changed it to show external speakers as... AppleTV logo (!). So I was looking for a speaker icon, but I wasn't looking for a name that is next to the icon. So I can still see and AirPlay to Sonos. It's just the icon is different 🤦‍♂️
