HomePod WATCHING TV SHOWS THROUGH STEREO HOMEPODS, HAVE TO SELECT EVERY TIME?

[hippyeverafter]

Set up a stereo pair of HomePods on my iMac 2019 with the latest OSX and every time I watch an episode of a tv series I need to select the HomePods every time I start the episode. Is there any way to set the HomePods as the default output on the Apple TV app?.

This should do it:

Set up home theater audio with HomePod or HomePod mini and Apple TV 4K - Apple Support

Use a HomePod, HomePod mini, or a stereo pair with your Apple TV 4K to create a theater experience with Dolby Atmos or surround sound right in your home.

Thanks for that suggestion but I was enquiring specifically about using the Apple TV app with Big Sur 11.3 or am I missing something?.

I’m going to guess that you will not be able to do this.

No big deal really but this is one of those simple things Apple seems to overlook!.

Or you are a really small use case that isn’t work spending development time on.
