Default Audio Output missing from settings

[afd]

I have an Apple TV 4 in kitchen along with a HomePod Mini, I used a Sonos One SL until recently. I seem to have to manually set the sound output most time I use the TV. Is there a way to set the speaker output by default? The default Audio setting is missing.

The setting used to be there before one of the updates but missing now. I've restored the OS to see if I could get it back but couldn't. The setting is still available on my Apple TV 4K.

There isn’t a Default Audio option for the ATVHD.
As a guess they probably took it out when they were making the ATV4K & Homepods work with Atmos.

Change audio settings on Apple TV

On Apple TV, you can adjust audio settings to reduce loudness, enhance dialogue, send audio to other speakers and more.

default audio output also only works with full size HomePods
