AppleTV automatically plays audio through HomePod

Recently, my AppleTV has started using the nearby HomePod as the audio output automatically. We have to change the audio output settings often now.


I cannot find anyone else mentioning the same issue so I started a new thread.


If anyone knows how to stop this or is experiencing the same thing, please chime in.

Apple TV 4, tvOS 13

Hello,


Correct, when you pull down during video playback it will temporarily change Apple TV’s output destination.
