HomePod as Default AppleTV Audio Bug

[angelofioren]

I just got an AppleTV 4K and set up my HomePods as default audio. I had an SD model before this and I would just set them via Airplay when needed. I have noticed that even when the AppleTV is off and I ask the HomePods to play music, the AppleTV will be considered the source. Once I am done playing, the HomePod volume +/- stay lit until I force quit the music app. This will only happen once you play music. Otherwise they will not have the volume lights.

Anyone else noticing this? I have found a few references online about this being a 14.5 bug, but not much.

Same behaviour. appletv4k 1st gen. with default audio to my homepods.

I’ve heard it is fixed in 14.6, so hopefully it will not be an issue for long. For now if I notice them on after the tv is off, I go back in and quit the music app.

Does anyone else also have the issue of them, on the odd occasion, losing connection or only one playing from a paired set? Very frustrating when that happens.

Looks like 14.6 does not fix this bug.
